I would beg the differ but hey again that's just me.

Well I for one would rather that we have an election committee that sets 
the election rules etc and as well has handles the aftermath rather then 
an single individual doing all this stuff.

And I feel that and "election committee" if it ever comes to be would 
need to be made up of individuals not serving in any governing body ( 
that includes the FPL ) and each corporate entity cannot have more than 
one individual on that committee to ensure that the election rules in 
place are in the best interest of the community and the people 
participating in it.

When the call for votes came I seriously cant have been the only 
individual that was wondering why the numbers of voters aren't equal in 
all area amongst other things that might be read from this and feel it 
warrants to be looked into further.
( For example just look at the number of participants out of ca 6000 
possible voters.)

* Board: 151 voters
* FAMSCo: 163 voters
* FESCo: 184 voters
