Why ip addresses made public ?

Please remove them in the csv

Hi @NagendraDevara , sorry I didn't notice your issue here until now. Sharing the IP is intentional in order to:

• to allow third parties to analyse the results and to allow them to for example exclude VPN/TOR IP's or analyse votes by geography
• to demonstrate to voters that their vote has been recorded successfully

In the latest version the last bit of the IP is masked before sharing, 127.0.0.XXX. IPv6 addresses are masked like this 2a01:3033:07XX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX . This is a compromise between privacy and ability to do independent analysis on the votes.
