Explanation:

Ranking: Put the numbers in order of preference, so '32154' would mean 3 is your first choice, 2 is your second choice etc. You don't have to rank all numbers if you don't want to. No comma or spaces in between, please.

The system that is used for determining the winner is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting, using the package openSTV from (old) Ubuntu repositories. Ties will be broken randomly.

Name or nickname: The name you usually use in your communication in the Inkscape project, required in case you change your vote or forgot that you had already voted.

Contribution to Inkscape: We allow voting from all Inkscape contributors (as opposed to C++ developers and translators in the AUTHORS file only).

Please help us with determining your eligibility for voting by telling us what you do or did in the Inkscape project (very short, only main area, e.g. 'writing Inkscape code', 'writing website code', 'writing news articles', 'setting up infrastructure', 'translating', 'forum moderation', 'bug triage', 'board member' etc.).

For next time, we hope to use a new membership system provided by the inkscape.org website for the voting. Please watch out for an announcement that asks you to register for an Inkscape membership!
