+
+where <command> is one of:
+
+ --new Generate a new ~/.ballot-<election> for editing
+ --verify Verify content of ~/.ballot-<election>
+ --submit Submit ~/.ballot-<election> to be counted
+ --help Show this help message
+ --version Show version information
+
+and <election> is one of the elections currently in-progress. The following
+elections are currently open:
+
+ $usage_elections
+
+Instructions:
+
+(1) Create a new ballot with the --new command. This generates a file in your
+ home directory called ~/.ballot-<election>. The file contains a shuffled
+ listing of the candidates. Note that the permissions on the file are set so
+ that only you have read+write permissions.
+
+ \$ $zero --new <election>
+
+(2) Edit ~/.ballot-<election> and rearrange the candidates linewise in order of
+ preference. Candidates you consider equal can be listed on the same line.
+ Any candidates you omit are implied on the last line. For example, if tom,
+ jerry, sam, linford and karin are running, you could put:
+
+ karin
+ linford jerry
+
+ In this case, you prefer karin over everybody else. You prefer linford and
+ jerry over tom and sam.
+
+ The file format is case-insensitive, ignores empty lines and comments that
+ start with the hash '#' symbol.
+
+(3) Verify your choices. The $zero program will explain in English if it
+ appears that you've made any errors in your ballot.
+
+ \$ $zero --verify <election>
+
+(4) Submit your ballot. This renames your ballot to
+ ~/.ballot-<election>-submitted so that it will be tallied when the votes
+ are collected.
+
+ \$ $zero --submit <election>
