Anonymity and privacy
Voting is by secret ballot. This means that all vote entries are anonymous. How individual member societies vote is not shared with the WFN or member societies.
Voting delegates are sent a unique login to access the voting platform. Access to the voting form is automatically disabled once the vote has been submitted or voting is closed (whichever is sooner).
The voting form is online and voting responses are sent over a secure, encrypted HTTPS connection. HTTPS means that the identity of the server has been authenticated and that there is a secure connection with data encryption on any transferred information between the browser and the website, protecting it from eavesdropping and tampering.
