I tried just now and following are my thoughts :
1) The first page is good. But a clear heading like "Vote for President " will be good rather than "Real President Nominee".
This depends on the election name in the DB, for real elections it'll be something like "Fedora Board F-9 Election" (or similar).
2) When the user wants to know the info about a Nominee, once he clicks the link "info", it is better to have a pop-up, rather than redirecting the whole page. 3) A non-uniformity is there in the Nominee's information. It is true that the control directs us to the user homepage. But for this President Nominee stuff, it is good to develope a generic page having information populated regarding that Nominee.

4) Why the site is re-directed to cnn.com/politics <http://cnn.com/politics> when the user request for more information on the President Ranking page ?
The CNN Politics bit was maybe a the worse part of the joke but I was kinda refering to the US Primaries etc (i'll change this in a minute), the info links for 'real' elections will goto the Wiki page(s) with the candidate information, until someone higher up in the food chain says they want it done a different way, I'm going to stick with this.
An early mock up on this concept looked absolutely disgusting from a UI POV
5) After confirming the Vote, the user is redirected to the initial home page. But the following appears at the bottom.
                "Build time: 0.115s, Page size: 2.23KB"
It is truely required to display to the end-user ?
That'll be disabled on the final implementation, just wanted it there so I could go every now and then to make sure it was happy.
6) When tried to view the results, by clicking "Community", iam facing this problem.
500 Internal error
I'll keep an eye on this, I can't see an immediate reason for the 500 error though.

Overall, it looks fine.
Thanks,

    Hi everyone,

    With Fedora 9 out the door we hit a very busy time for elections,
    the previous system was, well lets just say, not optimal.

    So I accepted the goal of creating an application by our
    post-release election season that would integrate well with FAS
    and would allow a different method of voting, Range Voting.

    If your not familiar with Range Voting check out
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_voting the essentials however
    is that you rank candidates from 0<-># of candidates, if you don't
    like them, just rank them 0.

    In the future, the application will not only allow the Board and
    Steering Committees to hold elections, it will (hopefully) become
    available to SIGs and Steering Committees for any time of
    poll/call to vote.

    This is where you all come in, it's impossible for a small group
    of people to find every possible mistake or bug in ANY item of
    software, so the more people we can get in to test it and report
    bugs/issues/thoughts the better!

    All I ask is 10-20 minutes of your time, whenever your free over
    the couple of days to test and provide feedback.

    Instructions:
    1) You'll need an account on the test instance of FAS at
    http://publictest10.fedoraproject.org/accounts/ (PLEASE) do not
    use your normal password and you don't need to do CLA etc (I've
    removed that requirement in the elections app for now).
    2) Please direct your browser to
    https://publictest10.fedoraproject.org/elections/ and test away!
    3) Try voting etc, make sure that you *can* view the results at
    https://publictest10.fedoraproject.org/elections/results/fedora
    but can't view the results at
    https://publictest10.fedoraproject.org/elections/results/president

    Notes:
    * I'm aware the UI is absolutely awful, there is already a ticket
    open for this (https://fedorahosted.org/elections/ticket/4) please
    feel free to add items there.
    * Any errors you encounter that are 'unexpected' to you, please
    file a ticket at https://fedorahosted.org/elections/newticket
    setting Milestone to 'Release 0.1.0' with full reproduction steps,
    and the time it occurred (TZ=UTC date)
    * Any other feedback can be directed to the elections-devel list
    (elections-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    <mailto:elections-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>)

    After 5am UTC on the 1st June both elections will end and the
    'results' should be public and hopefully we'll have a decent
    election app!

    Thanks a lot & Happy Testing,

    Nigel Jones

    p.s. Sorry to those that fall asleep during my e-mail - I nearly
    did too!
    p.s.s. Thanks must be given to Toshio, Ricky, Luca and Mike who
    have all assisted in this release
