| Cedar Rapids, IA - USA, Five Nights | For | |
| Philadelphia, PA - USA, Nusquam | Against | |
| Chicago, IL - USA, Dark Requiem | For | |
| Fredericksburg, VA - USA, Caine's Chosen: Liberty in Death | For | The records are which chronicle voted for which candidate is published on the website. What other transparency is needed? |
| Cedar Falls, IA - USA, Blackhawk Co. by Night | For | |
| Atlanta, GA - USA, Whispers of Atlanta | Against | Universally rejecting recounts regardless of reason seems counterproductive to our democratic process. |
| Griffin, GA - USA, Immortal Nights Theater | Against | |
| Cleveland, OH - USA, Carpe Noctum | Against | |
| Dayton, OH - USA, Dying Embers | Against | |
| Brasília, DF - Brazil, Pacis Aeternae | For | |
| Allentown, PA - USA, Steel Valley by Night | Abstain | |
| Macon, GA - USA, Stolen Hours | Against | |
| Recife, PE - Brazil, Pernambuco by Night: Forever Haunted | Against | |
| Cincinnati, OH - USA, Shadows of Cincinnati | Against | An absolute ban on recounts in the future is not the way to go about resolving the issues that occurred during the last round of Coord elections. This is too heavy handed and is only a patch instead of addressing the real issue that lead to the problems in the first place. |
| Madison, Wi - USA, Black Crusade | Abstain | |
| Columbus, OH - USA, Columbus in Darkness | Against | |
| Denver, CO - USA, Front Range Sabbat | Against | On principle this proposal restricts election transparency. CM/Chronicles should be wary to pass any draconian bylaws where reasonable accessibility on election data can be provided. |
| Ouro Preto, MG - Brazil, Dying of the Light | Against | I understand the concept here, and I am for it. But the wording is not ok. If something goes sideways on the site we are handtied to do the right thing. |
| Portland, ME - USA, Blackened Veins | Against | |
| Lewiston/Auburn, ME - USA, Shadows and Light | Against | |
| Lexington, KY - USA, Panders Playground | For | |
| Gary, IN - USA, Shattered Souls | For | |
| Springfield, IL - USA, Capitol City Cauldron | Against | As written... I don't think it accomplishes what we are really striving for. Needs a little revision maybe. Just not certain how to word it correctly. |
| Vale do Paraíba, SP - Brazil, Vale Sangrento | Against | |
| Los Angeles, CA - USA, Dark Side of the Moon | Abstain | |
| Green Bay, WI - USA, Shattered Dreams | Against | This will hinder the "transparency" this is supposedly valued so highly by the Org |
| Columbus, OH - USA, Wyld Prophets | For | |
| Natal, RN - Brazil, Legacy of Blood | Against | Echoing Whispers of Atlanta! |
| Gimli, MB - Canada, Sang Nordique | For | |
| St. Augustine, FL - USA, On Haunted Ground | Against | I am against the current wording, as it prevents any recounts whatsoever and I believe it would be better to prevent any recounts using a different counting method, as was suggested. Computers and coding are not infallible, and having the ability to do a manual recount using the same counting method that the computer was supposed to use may be necessary some day. |
| Rohnert Park, CA - USA, Shadows Crossing | For | |
| Northern Virginia, VA - USA, Night Falls | Against | While I believe the problem needs to be addressed, I don't believe this is not the best way to do it. |
| Springfield, OH - USA, Ohio Knights Sabbat | Abstain | |
| Edwardsville, IL - USA, Caught in Eternal Twilight | Abstain | |
| Chicago, IL - USA, New Moon Rising | For | |
| Gainesville, FL - USA, Won't Back Down | Against | |
| Hartford, CT - USA, Dark Colony | Abstain | |
| New Rochelle, NY - USA, Seasons of Strange | For | |
| Peoria, IL - USA, The Far Dawn | For | |
| Bloomington, IL - USA, Zephyr of Darkness | Against | Good start but to many future problems it can cause. Try working something that has a few acceptions. |
| Bridgeport, CT - USA, Bridgeport by Night: The Broken City | Against | |
| Washington, DC - USA, Shadows on the Horizon | For | |
| Baltimore, MD - USA, Dark Harbor | For | |
| Lancaster, OH - USA, Webs of Fate | Against | |
| Tampa, FL - USA, Orlando: Magic Kingdom | Abstain | I am torn on this proposal. I respect what Annapolis is trying to accomplish, but I think that there is still ambiguity in the voting process itself that needs to be addressed before this measure is taken. |
