WHEREAS our electoral commission was created back when we thought the secret ballots would be handled by hand AND
WHEREAS when anything is handled by hand, mistakes are bound to be made AND
WHEREAS we cannot afford to make mistakes so every vote had to be validated AND
WHEREAS something else occured. Our Secretary of State used the power of his database to allow once again online votes without any human intervention other than that of the voter AND
WHEREAS these votes, if secret, are only reviewed because specifically, the law requires the electoral commission to do so AND
WHEREAS voters not only get a receipt but can validate their vote until the next election and eventually, forever AND
WHEREAS one of the members of the electoral commission is a party leader, causing discomfort to some citizens
THEREFORE the ZIU resolves to amend the Organic Law, pending a referendum to approve it, in the following manner:
Article VII: Election to the Cosâ, Section 6 will get a new sub-section 1 which reads as follows:
6.1: Secret votes cast using a secure, electronic voting system for which a confirmation receipt is available to the voters and which the voters can validate themselves shall not have their content (Cosa votes, Senate votes, Provincial votes and Referendum votes) revealed to the electoral commission provided that the identifiers and technical information used to vote are still available to them. Any member of the electoral commission may request that the content of an automated ballot be still reviewed by the electoral commission as a whole if they suspect a problem occurred with that specific vote.
