I have no plans to do that, but if the eligible voters would like to declare if
they voted or not, I will speak out if they say one thing and did the other.

There was no promise (or mandate) of secrecy, confidentiality, or anonymity in
the election rules.
Furthermore, although confidentiality was compromised, it happened *AFTER* the
voting was closed and the votes had been tallied and does *NOT* affect the
results.
The election is valid.

That is correct. Under the rules of this election you have no right to contest
the results. I will not be excusing myself.
