I agree, I would have written the same if Lorenzo hadn't written it.
Another thing:
The start page of the elections shows on the bottom:
"Retrieve your vote in an election:"
and then a select box, an input field and a submit button.
Although I could guess what the purpose of the input field is, there
should be some text somewhere. Maybe even a simple "salt" prefilled in
the input field would be enough?
In the current representation it looks like that one should enter the
name of color into the field (when looking at the text in the select box
and ignoring the text on the button).

Mark
