Wouter: Just to make it clear, as I se how my suggestion can be misunderstood. I was wondering _who_ counted the votes, and in what way it was done, to make sure there was no tampering with the ballot.

It is very easy to make accusations about cheating if e.g. the chairman who has worked to see change in the rules also counts the votes. (And for the record, I am _not_ saying this is the case or has been the case in the F16 class).

Think about it, and consider it as an pre-emptive measure to avoid 'dust raising' in the future.
