Create SecurePoll voter list for 2022 board vote
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

There is a community vote scheduled for August 15 - 29 in the 2022 Wikimedia Foundation Board Elections: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022

We would like to have an eligible editors voter list generated and populated into SecurePoll. The 2021 task for this is here: T288025

According to the 2021 documentation, the script to pre-compute the eligibility lists will take about 2 days to run: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/SecurePoll#Voter_eligibility

I expect the editors' voter eligibility to be similar to the previous round. I will update when the date ranges are defined.

Note: A separate task exists for voters who qualify as developers: T309754: Create list of developers eligible to vote on the 2022 board vote

Thanks in advance!

jrbs moved this task from Backlog to Board elections on the Elections board.

The only part of this I am not comfortable doing myself is the creation of the bv_2022 tables on production. This has been done by Tech staff in the past but as an ad-hoc thing. I'd be happy to learn since it's basically "just" a patch and a script

I'm looking into this right now. The instructions on Wikitech say:

Copy and adapt bv2021/populateEditCount.php

I was researching how we might do this but the description from T288025: Create SecurePoll voter list for 2021 board vote says it was already backported and deployed when the task was filed. I'm pretty sure this will require a patch of some kind. I'd love to be able to put this together myself but I haven't the first idea how to do that.

Perhaps @tstarling might have some idea as the person who did this last year? Ideally we'd have this in a state where anyone can do it and not have to rope in a very busy engineer to do it for us.

Clearly I figured it out. ;)

Other than Zabe's patch above, I believe this is now merged on production.

@Zabe, would you prefer we wait until this is merged as well before running these scripts? We are on a bit of a time pressure to get this piece of the election setup completed but nothing too major.

Probably wait a day though before running populateEditCount.php on s7 wikis? T313383: Switchover s7 master db1181 -> db1136

This works. I'll probably run them all at the same time once this happens.

jrbs closed this task as Resolved.Jul 26 2022, 4:45 PM

This is now done - 66,378 eligible voters on this list, now added to SecurePoll.
