The first part, I have "ro se cecmu cu se curmi"; a bit of a tongue-twister, but not so hard. For "vote", jbovlaste gives "cmicu'a", although I don't know how widely accepted that is. The place structure of cmicu'a is "cm1=cu1 votes for cu2 among choices cu3 in voting group cm2". I take that to mean that x1 is the voter, x2 is candidate receive the vote, x3 is the list of candidates, and x4 is the electorate. There's no place here for the type of election, in this case "Wikimedia Board Election", or the office to which the candidates are elected. Any suggestions on how to express that? mu'o mi'e .sen.
