My perception is that perhaps it was more strictly enforced in the past and there is a little bit of ambiguity as to from where the rules apply and so forth. In terms of the process being fair, one would not want a situation where there was an outcome with one vote in it and someone said "There were posters right outside" and so on. It is an area that needs to be looked at.
