       @nytpu is it really a vote if there is only 1 option?I don't think so.

       @loganer I mean, you just gotta go through the motions even if it's pointless. Although I guess technically if "none of the above" gets the plurality instead of the single candidate they'd have to rerun the election?

       @colinstu @wolf480pl @nytpu so they're is actually more candidates but they would rather do a 'not really a vote' vote because tradition...waw, not only is their software perpetually outdated but so is everything else apparently.with only 1 option, even if this single candidate wins over the none of the above, the results should be thrown out and the vote should be restarted.

       @loganer> would rather do a 'not really a vote' because of traditionnonsense, there were many candidates in the previous year's DPL electionhttps://www.debian.org/vote/2025/vote_001and a year beforehttps://www.debian.org/vote/2024/vote_001so there's clearly no tradition of only having one candidate@colinstu @nytpu
