The other one is a confusing mess. IMHO. 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?
