Elections!

(filed by Ng Yi-Sheng)

We're all gathered in the Ballroom of the Palazzo Hotel. Sahran and Azusa are in front: they're overseeing the elections because they're board members (of ILGA Asia and ILGA World respectively) who won't be running for re-election.

Sahran's already announced that the constitution and strategic plan has been approved. So we'll be voting on board members and the host city for the next conference. I'll be updating this article as news comes in.

Here are the candidates!
