On the main Fedora announce list it was posted with the subject of
"Fedora 19 elections: Voting is now open!" [1] I'm not sure it can get
any clearer than that. The first four referenced links in the email
were to the voting.

There was also a number of posts to the Fedora planet about the voting
and it was mentioned in a number of other forums too.

How else do you suggest we improve it?
