Information générale

Aperçu de l'extension MediaWiki SecurePoll et des méthodes de vote qu'elle prend en charge à partir de juillet 2023.

SecurePoll as software is a MediaWiki extension with technical documentation at SecurePoll.

There exists additional documentation on how to use the software for Board elections on Wikitech.

Using SecurePoll for Wikimedia elections

Wikimedia Foundation staff oversee the use of SecurePoll for elections related to the Wikimedia Foundation.

SecurePoll is currently not available for general use. It is not currently available for anyone to use on request.

If it were available for use on request, then any Wikimedia community group which was holding an election might use it for their election. For example, any Wikimedia movement affiliates might use SecurePoll as a trusted way to manage their own Wikimedia election such as their own board election.
