I have voted several time using Belenios. This is probably the most advanced free software voting solution. This has been useful to lots of organisation during the lockdown. However I feel this GR is putting the cart before the horses. Before voting for or against a new voting system, we need to experiment with them and see how they can be made to fit Debian. The secrecy used for DPL elections is too weak if the purpose is to protect against contentious GR. That is why my own ballot proposal just say to keep the vote as is for the time being and to discourage non-technical contentious GR.
