Even though you have no chance to vote for two or more candidates that has same affiliation (because we don't have such a case for 2005 elections), it's not same. Affiliation rule is exactly told as in election rules. That is, if more than than two persons from one company get elected, only the top two vote getters will get on the board. > > Moreover, shouldn't the above sentence say "You should vote for up to 7" > candidates? Yes, you don't need to vote for 7 different people. Thanks for correcting my mail. It's hard to say anyone would get hurt because voting script is working as you said. For full list of rules and updated timeline anyone can check foundation web page about rules[1].
