Folks, I haven't seen the customary number-crunching on the recent TC election, so I quickly ran the numbers myself.
Voter Turnout ============= The turnout rate continues to decline, in this case from 29.7% to 26.7%. Here's how the participation rates have shaped up since the first TC2.0 election: Election | Electorate | Voted | Turnout | Change ------------------------------------------------ 10/2013 | 1106 | 342 | 30.9% | -8.0% 04/2014 | 1510 | 448 | 29.7% | -4.1% 10/2014 | 1892 | 506 | 26.7% | -9.9% Partisan Voting =============== As per the usual analysis done by ttx, the number of ballots that strictly preferred candidates from an individual company (with multiple candidates) above all others: HP ahead in 30 ballots (5.93%) RHAT ahead in 18 ballots (3.56%) RAX ahead in 8 ballots (1.58%) The top 6 pairings strictly preferred above all others were: 35 voters (6.92%) preferred Monty Taylor & Doug Hellmann (HP/HP) 34 voters (6.72%) preferred Monty Taylor & Sean Dague (HP/HP) 26 voters (5.14%) preferred Anne Gentle & Monty Taylor (RAX/HP) 21 voters (4.15%) preferred Russell Bryant & Sean Dague (RHAT/HP) 21 voters (4.15%) preferred Russell Bryant & Eoghan Glynn (RHAT/RHAT) 16 voters (3.16%) preferred Doug Hellmann & Sean Dague (HP/HP) Conclusion ========== The rate of potentially partisan voting didn't diverge significantly from the norms we've seen in previous elections. The continuing decline in the turnout rate is a concern however, as the small-scale changes tried (blogging on TC activity, standardized questions in the TC nomination mails) have not arrested the fall-off in participation.
