Verifying your vote

When voting electronically, you could choose to receive an email receipt allowing you to verify that your vote was recorded correctly. To verify your vote, you will need to use your browser's search engine to find your receipt. There are fewer voting receipts than total votes because some voters represented more than one member and carried the voting rights for these members.
