Change #1248954 had a related patch set uploaded (by ZhaoFJx; author: ZhaoFJx):
[operations/mediawiki-config@master] arbcom_zhwiki: Add electionadmin group
Comment Actions
I don't think we need the Namespace one, but I can amend the latter one into the patch.
Comment Actions
Also I wonder if it is allowed for arbcom_zhwiki local bureaucrats (who are, unlike global stewards, not necessary NDA-signed) to grant a group that contains securepoll-view-voter-pii. TBH I doubt the need of this right, as account creation on the wiki is restricted and we are all trusted users.
Comment Actions
I am still in doubt about the access to PII. When it comes to personal information, it is always better to grant less and grant whenever needed instead of granting too much and regretting afterwards. We may grant the access to PII to CheckUsers, which is not a locally grantable group, so sysadmins can still grant that role to local users if that's really needed.

Change #1265959 had a related patch set uploaded (by 1F616EMO; author: 1F616EMO):
[operations/mediawiki-config@master] arbcom_zhwiki: Enable SecurePoll without PII rights
Comment Actions
The ArbCom shows slight tendency towards the no-PII patch. I will deploy that one in today's afternoon backport window.
Comment Actions
I don't have time to deploy in April, and this is nor urgent anyway, so I will postpone the deployment to May as with reverting T420165.
