What do the valid vote, unique voter and reject columns tabulate?

Valid vote - from a Debian developer, valid GPG key in keyring, message validly signed and vote syntax within the email correctly read.

Unique vote - you can vote right up to the close of the voting period: the latest one will be taken - this allows someone to change their mind on ordering, for example, or to realise they've made a mistake and correct it. One vote per person and these can be tied back to the voter at the end of the prrocess - that's why there's a dummy tally sheet in place through the duration of the vote.

Rejects: votes that fail validity for one reason or another but still get counted.
