What policy area would you like to discuss first in order to expand the Manifesto?
The Manifesto is still in its very early stages. If you browse through it (link at the left), you'll see that none of the policies are very detailed. So, what policy areas interest you the most and that we could detail a bit more in the Manifesto?

How to call the EM Peer Review journal?
Please, do not vote in this poll and ignore it if you don't know what we're talking about...
Coming soon, we'll have a Election Method Peer Review journal, created by Jameson Quinn and the members of the EM mailing list. The question is: How to call it?
As in most minguo poll, if you have a better idea than any of the ones listed here, you can add it as a new option. Members who have already voted can then update their votes accordingly.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 82.83 | Journal of Election Methods | 0 | 328 | 4 | 396 |
| 75 | Use the word "Election" rather than "Voting" because elections are more than simply voting; they encompass the whole process. | 0 | 297 | 4 | 396 |
