Hi, In a little over 24 hours at the time of writing, the pools for the Debian project leader elections for 2002 shall close. Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC on April 16th, 2002. Ballots received after that shall be bounced unprocessed. If you have not voted yet, you are running out of time.

At 7 minutes past the hour, the tally sheet shall be created at http://master.debian.org/%7Esrivasta/tally.txt I am attaching two scripts to this message that shall take this tally sheet as input, and calculate the winner, so people can run their own tallying process. The first script is the algorithm we have traditionally used, as given in the constitution.

The second script is the clone proof ssd method being recommended that we adopt. In all votes so far, both scripts return identical results (the interesting corner cases have not yet occurred).
