Sorry, but what is that exactly?

Acting President,

Stepping down as president only to be elected Honorary President, I must admit I am confused!

Why? A Honorary President has no official powers, but it is the way for us to honour our first president who made it to become Chief Justice.

THE ELECTION

Dear colleagues,

I will use an automatized election tool for this election.

Members of the bar have received an email with the subject "ELEC: Wahlkarte für Royal Bar Association".

"Wahlkarte für" stands for "Polling information for"

In that email, you see the begin and end times for the election (in CET, which ist GMT/HUT +1hr).

You find your individual voter's number and your passwort as "Wahlkartennummer" and "Passwort" in the email.

Go to http://vote.elec.tropicali.de/
enter your number and password and vote

If there's much interest in using this election tool here in Hanover, I'd be able to prepare an English interface.

Mr. von Arabien,

I have just voted. This looks like a potentially useful tool, especially for the Bar.

Sincerely,

Lord Oldenburg

Have we recieved all the votes and is the election now completed?
