[NSRCA-discussion] Data on past elections

[charliebarrera at consolidated.net]

Voting for the 2016-2017 DVP elections was light. Of the over 300
members we had at that time, 61 votes were cast. Only one district had 2
candidates - D7. 33 votes were cast for John Bentley, and 8 votes were
cast for Tony Frackowiak. In other districts, there was no opposition to
the candidate. The DVP's that were elected were D2 Terry Terrenoire, D3,
Joe Walker, D5 Mark Barnett, and D7 John Bentley. D1, 4, and 6 had no
candidate running. These positions were filled later in 2016 by BoD
appointment.

I can't recall the exact numbers but I know in the contested president election at the end of 2012 we had around 600 votes cast and a 4 vote differential between the two candidates. That was a national election.

I cannot recall if Scott was the secretary at the time or Charlie, one of them probably has the exact figures in their e-mail archive at least.

Total voter turnout is running at slightly over 10% of national membership so far.

I heard it anecdotally (not being directly involved with any election we've run, past or present) and, being a numbers-oriented guy, the general flavor "stuck" in my head as above. I will endeavor to make sure that we publish the results with actual numbers of votes in the February K-factor this year.
