Note: The vote time has collision with enwiki's admin election T371454: Use SecurePoll for enwiki's admin election (Fri Oct 25, 2024 - Thu Oct 31, 2024)

As I mentioned in T371454, the clash is fine, but you will probably have to keep the site language as English. The actual ballot / instructions etc can be in Chinese though.

@jrbs We're fine for the site language been kept in English, and the last one T361902: Use SecurePoll for zhwiki's admin election and anonymous RFC on the role of Arbcom (May-June 2024) was in English as well.

Heard from T371454#10224495 that default value can be set as none

Just ftr the task for that was T326412

Can I please confirm: The voting period begins at 00:00 UTC on Oct 25, and ends at 00:00 on Nov 8? (i.e., 23:59 on Nov 7)?

Yes. The list will be available in a few days.

Also of interest - https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%E4%BA%92%E5%8A%A9%E5%AE%A2%E6%A0%88/%E6%8A%80%E6%9C%AF#Enabling_SecurePoll_elections_with_the_electionadmin_right

@jrbs I've generated the voter list for this election. If possible, please remove the name of the candidate from the list corresponding to their vote.
FTR: sql query and process scripts are available at here

@jrbs re-ping again as the election will start soon. Thanks:)

Sorry for my delay! This is done for all 7 elections.

Links to the vote will be available from https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:%E5%AE%89%E5%85%A8%E6%8A%95%E7%A5%A8

There do have some problem of "no default select value" - you can still press the "Submit vote" button, and you'll find "Thank you, your vote has been recorded". Something different with my expectation (not able to vote as voter hasn't select an option)?

If you do not select a value my understanding is that the vote will be "null" i.e. "abstain". I can change that to require an option with the "Require that all options be answered" setting, if that would be preferable?

Of course that will have an uncertain effect on votes that have already been cast. I would assume they would be logged as "null" or "no vote" but I am not sure.

edit: Since there is only one candidate in each election this probably will not actually change anything and you would be safe to change this now.

Yeah, it will be great if you can set it to "Require that all options be answered", I think that's what we want here.

From the text I get I think such vote without selecting a value will be logged as "neutral", but not pretty sure.

I've implemented this on all 7 votes. Voters who already submitted and are worried about having submitted a blank vote may vote again.

Confirmed it works, thanks a lot!
