While the polls were open, we’ve heard that there may be candidates with no intention to sign the board agreement, which has become a [mandatory](https://opensource.org/board) [requirement](https://opensource.org/about/board-of-directors/elections) since you last served. We need to know who the actual candidates are before we run the STV calculation to determine the outcome of the vote. So for process efficiency, the board asked all candidates to confirm their good faith intention to serve on the board, so we can tell the software.

The board agreement only applies to _seated_ members.
