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.
