Hi all,
Since the vote's supposed to be starting in a few days, I figured it would be good to finish up the fiddly details and avoid any last-minute editing. So here's a draft proposal for the ballot instructions and options: https://github.com/python/peps/pull/844
I also set up a test vote on CIVS, so you can see how it will actually look: https://civs.cs.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/vote.pl?id=E_f3dd3ec110515d32&akey=add219018ca56843
Please post any feedback on the PR or here.

Oh yeah, one odd thing I noticed: according to PEP 8001, the vote runs from Dec. 1 to Dec. 16, i.e., two weeks + two days. Is this... intentional? Of course 16 is a good round number, but it still seemed strange. Maybe it's supposed to give us a little wiggle room in case the vote doesn't get sent out right at midnight on the 1st, while still keeping the two week period?

I assumed it was so the vote would include 2 weekends. Makes sense to me.

Three weekends (if by weekend you mean Saturday + Sunday).

Right. I meant the two weekends at the ends of the range.

Thanks for the proposed text (even though I'm replying before I read it ;) .
As for the dates, it was intentional. Ends on a weekend so no one feels rushed if they procrastinate and only do open source on weekends, plus Dec 16 is a date people can reason about in terms of the middle of the month.
