-== ''[[WP:SIGNPOST|Signpost]]'' exit poll ==
-Dear Wikipedian, you [https://vote.wikimedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:SecurePoll/list/560&dir=prev&limit=5 recently voted] in the [[WP:ACE2015/C|ArbCom election]].  Your username, along with around 155 other usernames of your fellow Wikipedians, was [[Hardware_random_number_generator|randomly selected]] from the 2000+ Wikipedians who voted this year, with the help of [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2015/Electoral_Commission|one of the election-commissioners]].  If you are willing, could you please participate (at your option either on-wiki via userspace or off-wiki via email) in an [[exit poll]], and answer some questions about how you decided amongst the [[WP:ARBCOM|ArbCom]] candidates?
-&nbsp; If [[WP:CHOICE|you decide]] to participate in this [[exit poll]], the statistical results will be published in the ''[[WP:SIGNPOST|Signpost]]'', an online newspaper with over 1000 Wikipedians among the readership.  There are about twelve questions, which have alphanumerical answers; it should take you a few minutes to complete the exit poll questionnaire, and will help improve [[Wikipedia]] by giving future candidates information about what you think is important.  This is only an unofficial survey, and will have no impact on your actual vote during this election, nor in any future election.
-&nbsp; All questions are individually optional, and this entire [[exit poll]] itself is also entirely optional, though if you choose not to participate, I would appreciate a brief reply indicating why you decided not to take part (see Question Zero).  Thanks for being a Wikipedian
-=== The questionnaire ===
-Dear Wikipedian, please fill out these questions -- at your option via usertalk or via email, see Detailed Instructions at the end of the twelve questions -- by putting the appropriate answer in the blanks provided.  If you decide ''not'' to answer a question (all questions are optional), please put the reason down:  "undecided" / "private information" / "prefer not to answer" / "question is [[Not even wrong|not well-posed]]" / "other: please specify".  Although the ''[[WP:SIGNPOST|Signpost]]'' cannot guarantee that complex answers can be processed for publication, it will help us improve future exit polls, if you give us comments about why you could not answer specific questions.

-Detailed Instructions:  you are welcome to answer these questions via usertalk (easiest), or via email (for a modicum of privacy).
-{{collapsetop| how to submit your answers , estimated time required: 2 minutes }}
-* If you wish to '''answer via usertalk''', go ahead and fill in the blanks by editing this subsection.  Once you have completed the usertalk-based [[exit poll]] answers, {{edit|User_talk:75.108.94.227|click here to notify the Signpost copy-editor|section=new|preloadtitle=ACE2015 exit poll answers from ~~<nowiki></nowiki>~~}}, leave a short usertalk note, and click save.  The point of leaving the usertalk note, is to make sure your answers are processed and published.
-* If you wish to '''answer via email''', create a new email to the ''[[WP:SIGNPOST|Signpost]]'' column-editor by clicking [[Special:EmailUser/GamerPro64]], and then paste the *plaintext* of the questions therein.  Once you have completed the email-based [[exit poll]] answers, {{edit|User_talk:GamerPro64|click here to notify the Signpost column-editor|section=new|preloadtitle=ACE2015 exit poll email from ~~<nowiki></nowiki>~~}}, leave a short usertalk note ''specifying the *time* you sent the email'', and click save.  The point of leaving the usertalk note, is to make sure your answers are processed and published (not stuck in the spam-folder).
-Processing of responses will be performed in batches of ten, prior to publication in the ''Signpost''.  [[User:GamerPro64|GamerPro64]] will be processing the email-based answers, and will strive to maintain the privacy of your answers (as well as your email address and the associated IP address typically found in the email-headers), though of course as a volunteer effort, we cannot legally guarantee that GamerPro64 will have a system free from computer virii, we cannot legally guarantee that GamerPro64 will resist hypothetical bribes offered by the KGB/NSA/MI6 to reveal your secrets, and we cannot legally guarantee that GamerPro64 will make no mistakes.  If you choose to answer on-wiki, your answers will be visible to other Wikipedians.  If you choose to answer via email, your answers will be sent unencrypted over the internet, and we will do our best to protect your privacy, but unencrypted email is inherently an improper mechanism for doing so.  Sorry!  :-)

-We do promise to try hard, not to make any mistakes, in the processing and presentation of your answers.  If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact column-editor [[User_talk:GamerPro64|GamerPro64]], copy-editor [[User_talk:75.108.94.227|75.108.94.227]], or copy-editor [[User_talk:Ryk72|Ryk72]].
