Frederic,

if you start the voting session from scratch, you just select the option
you want to vote for (either yes or no) and that automatically gets added
under Preferences, the next section will also show what you voted for in
order to confirm your selection.

Thanks,

Right! But I am unclear on how to get there... so whether I chose yes/no <b=

I get to that final question? Since I can&#39;t see what&#39;s in preferenc=

doesn&#39;t seem obvious what the yes/no selection do...<br>
