Edit: (after getting the ballot file)
Here is my analysis that I ran last time around. Key: Top Votes - # of votes with *all* the people at the top Complete Votes - # of votes with all the people in the ballot somewhere Partial Votes - # of votes with at least 2 of the people in the ballot somewhere that is not a top or complete vote Solo Votes - # of votes that had just one person listed in the group
...
Bloc - Provi (corebloodbrothers) Top Votes 2944 (9% of votes) Complete Votes 2945 (9% of votes) Partial Votes 0 Solo Votes 1736 Total Votes 7625 (24% of votes)
your total here makes no sense: each solo vote is also a top vote and a complete vote, each complete vote is a top vote (and those numbers should be the same I don't understand why they're off by one) you can't just total all categories like this as you'll have some overlaps
Yeah, apparently my script has some bugs with 1 person blocs, I should probably just not include them.
Figuring out an order is always a little odd with STV, but here is what you get when you run the election for 1 seat, then 2, then 3, etc. This time around, progod would make a 5 person council, but not a 6 person council, where mynnna and corebloodbrothers displace him.

- Mike Azariah
- Mangala Solaris

Also, the very last spot was quite close. It was down to Mangala, Major JSilva and Asayanami Dei, and Asay lost by 79 votes. CSM 7 Secretary CSM 6 Alternate Delegate @two_step_eve on Twitter My Blog

If those 1736 Provi voters literally had no opinion/the same opinion on anyone else running for the CSM, their votes were fine. Of course, that is total nonsense, and if they were actually thinking about things they would have realized that folks like Ali Aras or perhaps Mike Azariah or someone actually would represent their playstyles better than Xenuria and filled in their ballots.
Of course then said uninformed voters show up in the thread and act all proud about being uninformed, so shine on you crazy diamonds. CSM 7 Secretary CSM 6 Alternate Delegate @two_step_eve on Twitter My Blog

Seems like the logical conclusion is that CSM 7 was the best CSM, and everything since then has been downhill. Hmm, which CSM was the last one I was on again?  CSM 7 Secretary CSM 6 Alternate Delegate @two_step_eve on Twitter My Blog

I agree that the lower voter turnout is a very big issue. Even goon/CFC turnout is down this year, with 700 fewer people voting their ballot. Does anyone think the CFC is *smaller* than they were last time around?
I think there are a couple of main issues: 1) This election was messed up. It was greatly delayed and poorly publicized. No mass evemail to all players, no in game popup, no devs with blue text in jita local telling folks to vote.
2) Less exciting (and excited!) candidates. No real big names, except for a few incumbents. No attempts to buy giant banners on the various eve news sites. Even twitter was relatively quiet this time around, especially after the first day or two of the election. Part of this is because CCP isn't (currently) screwing up too badly.
3) Even if you don't buy into the tinfoil hat brigade up above, EVE isn't *growing* like it used to. If CCP did release sub numbers, they would probably be about the same as they have been for the last year or so. No new players means less people asking older players "What is the CSM?".

I ask this question every year to most of the people I talk to. My estimate is about 60% or so of FF attendees vote. CSM 7 Secretary CSM 6 Alternate Delegate @two_step_eve on Twitter My Blog

I thought that answer to this question is obvious. Because this blog has been released to provide information regarding the CSM9 elections, not regarding the amount of subscriptions on TQ.
I understand that, but isn't it important to measure and report voter turnout %? Perhaps by giving general guidance, within a 5% range? CSM 7 Secretary CSM 6 Alternate Delegate @two_step_eve on Twitter My Blog
