is there reason why i dont see aAlgo in the list?
The reason is that Vestige API, used to collect all the relevant data, is not tracking it, but since it follows the same logic of the other LSTs we are going to include also aAlgo, thanks for pointing this out.

There is a link error among the candidates for Governance Period 15, so I’d like to report it.
Measure #19
Wilder Stubbs
Read Wilder’s full application (PR-02) before voting

The correct URL is here:

@Adri I have a serious concern about this: Why are the candidates ordered by Last Name on the Governance Period 15 Voting Session rather than order of applications as listed on here?
Expecting voters to review 22 detailed candidate applications is a BIG ASK and I would HATE for candidates to not receive the right level of consideration simply due to voter exhaustion.
From the start, applications were received and candidates were approved on a rolling basis. Also, I believe the order of applications indicates a level of promptness and engagement from candidates that should also be considered.
Candidates like @scholtz @Wilder and myself are among the first to apply and be approved but going to be last to be looked at by voters on the governance portal.

I think it’s a good point. And yeah, I think it’s better to sort candidates either by random or by their number, not their surname.

I agree with this. There’s real value in taking swift action.
However, making changes at this point would only cause more confusion, so I think we have no choice but to proceed as is.
I hope that next time, clear rules will be set in advance for situations like this.
It’s also the inconsistency… I expected the order on Voting Session to be the same as it’s been appeared on Github, or on the Algorand Forum (i.e. this thread). Not sure why the sudden change?
Algorand Foundation must know that ballot order actually matters ALOT right?

Hi Ludo, sorry, there must have been an internal miscommunication, now it is eligible: I have checked personally by committing it, but please confirm that is ok also on your side.
I can see it now.. Thank you
I fully intend to vote on this. I intend to just decide whos name i like though. I wont bother reading diddly squat. As the whole system has religated me to basically fuck all. I know my vote simply wont matter, never did. But is a pointless exercise to fuck all it seems

YEAH… I’ll have same logic. I don’t have so much time for that. I might check some candidates, but as I said, I simply dont have so much time to check all of them.
That’s why I guess who is higher listed in GP15’s meassures, that person will be more likely selected.

Hi @josephw, thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to raise the issue.
In the past, we used alphabetical order for community-submitted governance measures (e.g., TDR) and have followed the usual path when setting up GP15.
Governors must vote on all measures, and in this first non-incentivized voting session, we sure hope our community will arrive to cast their vote, having fully researched every candidate.
Changing the order of the measures is not possible at this time, but we will consider your suggestion in the future.
Good luck to you in the election!

This time we added the “Abstain” option exactly for this: if you don’t know the candidate simply abstain and your vote will still be valid, you are not forced to make a choice if you don’t want to. But as @Adri as said, vote is mandatory for all the candidates.

Sounds logic, but sad.
