PRIVACY and SECURITY

Registration requests (name, email, and list of conventions) are stored in a Google Forms result table accessible only to its owner; of course that GMail account could be hacked into in some way. Vote information is kept by Cornell University's CIVS systems, for which they provide a Security and Privacy document. The poll is created as a private election, with no storage of detailed ballot rankings, and with results only viewable upon conclusion of the voting period by the administrator.
