[pp.int.general] Pirate Manifesto: PIRATA internal ballot, results

[Carlos Ayala Vargas]

- Turnout: 64'29 %
* Valid votes: 66'66 %
* Invalid votes (cast by members without having their fees up-to-date): 
33'33 %

- Votes -remembering *differences between the three existing drafts* 
<http://int.piratenpartei.de/Pirate_Manifesto_Final_Drafts>-:
* Draft A <http://int.piratenpartei.de/Pirate_Manifesto_Draft_C>: 0 %
* Draft B <http://int.piratenpartei.de/Pirate_Manifesto_Draft_B>: 0 %
** Draft C <http://int.piratenpartei.de/Pirate_Manifesto_Draft_C>: 100 %*
* /None of the former/ -for those unhappy with existing options, to ask 
for new ones-: 0 %

We need to improve our Telematic Voting System by avoiding invalid votes 
-i.e., simply denying members without having their fees up-to-date, 
according to PIRATA Statute, to cast their votes-; anyway, given Draft 
C's landslide, invalid votes have not affected the final result. Also, 
while 64'29 % is a decent turnout, we hope to improve it with our liquid 
democracy system -allowing delegated vote-, to reach adequate turnout 
levels -at least for critical decisions like this-.

With 100 % of valid votes, the *draft chosen by PIRATA is Draft C 
<http://int.piratenpartei.de/Pirate_Manifesto_Draft_C>*. Hope there can 
be news from other pirate parties soon -currently I'm not aware even 
whether simmilar ballots are being held or not-. Regards,
