okay. i don't know where i used yyyy.mm.dd but i'll change it to dropdown.

it only displays something when there is an election open for nomination. So
you'd have to go into admin.php, start an election then you'd see at the left
navigation "nominate yourself", you can select it and so on..

hmm, what does "no opinion" mean?? The elctions aim at selecting 5 out of x
candidates to do the core jub. Your way, it is possible for me to choose more
than 5 candidates. I admit, my way, you can chose a candidate more than once.
But that's why if that happens, the script returns to the vote.php and asks the
voter to vote again and not vote twice for the same candidate. Could you please
clear this out?

> 4. Why are the auto-increments in the sql tables more than 1?
i really don't know. You mean the line
TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ;

the file was autocreated by phpmyadmin, i didn't intend anything by that.
