The initial results of the CSM5 elections are out, which was a very quick turnaround from CCP. However as is usually the case they omitted some key information and this has had a few people complaining on the forums (this in itself seems to be the usual position for forums but anyway ;)).<\/p>\n
It can be seen a teasing to make people wait a week for the results of an online election, especially after basically announcing that they have the results.<\/p>\n
So far CCP have released the following information<\/p>\n
The increased turnout is likely to be a combination of Eve login prompts, external media coverage (Massively<\/a> and Eve-Tribune<\/a>), Eve blogs (Such as I am Keith Neilson<\/a> who interviewed many of the candidates) and general increased campaigning from candidates. Sadly there was a fair bit of negative campaigning and misinformation\/scaremongering going on too, I guess this is also par for the course.<\/p>\n The most contentious results are the vote counts of the final 9 delegates and 5 alternates. Many people think CCP should have released the names by now too but currently only CCP know who achieved each result and they are remaining tight lipped till the 26th…<\/p>\n Delegates (votes only):<\/p>\n Alternates (votes only):<\/p>\n Comparing CSM4 to CSM5, the cutoff point to get into the top 9 is up from 744 to 1260 and the cutoff to being an alternate is up from 557 to 1006. I predict a few upsets based on this increased vote requirement.<\/p>\n\n
