When creating a securePoll election on voteWiki using the Board Election setting (almost all wikis) the creation fails with a blank page saying 'Exception encountered, of type "BadMethodCallException"'. This election setting worked earlier during acceptance testing.
[The actual 'all wikis' election still fails with a db error given connection issues to some of the labs dbs on all.dblist, which is why the board election setting was used]

Is there some election taking place soon? Wondering how time-critical fixing this is (plus not sure who looks at SecurePoll code or its bug reports).
