The election process was pretty excellent, as an organization we could teach the country as a whole a lot. Congrats to the new board folks.

How many eligible voters that didn’t claiming voting rights?

#10

Roughly 8% requested voting rights so the opposite of that would be 92% did not request voting rights.

#11

Maybe I didn’t ask the right question. How many members were eligible to claim voting rights? (A number, not a percentage.)

#12

Kind of fun to see that there are a few people who voted exactly as I did on all options.

#13

The openness of this process is a thing of beauty.

Actually need to thank @Robert_Davidson for researching and finding a good solution, @lukeiamyourfather for testing the system with Robert, @StanSimmons for processing voting rights requests, @BenjaminGroves & @fedakkee for managing the paper ballot process. AND the membership for participating more than ever!

As a stats nerd, would there be any way to get an itemized list of the (de-identified of course) paper ballots?

Also is it possible to get time stamps for online? I’m curious as to the effect (if any) of the “experimental poll” on Talk on the online voting. Hourly would probably work.

#17

Admin and myself have the individual paper ballots in the form of a spreadsheet.

If @AlexRhodes (president) and / or @Robert_Davidson (secretary) give their blessing, I am happy to post the individual ballots. Alternatively, they are welcome to post it themselves.

As with the online votes, these ballots are anonymous.

That would be awesome and excellent.

Once I get Monday out of the way I’m gonna mess around with cross-correlating the various candidates and propositions.

If I find anything interesting, I’ll definitely post my results.
