<p>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.</p>

<div dir="ltr">We definitely get more votes in contested districts and elections than we do in uncontested elections. 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.
<div> </div>
<div>In the last contested election in D7, again, I don't have the exact figures anywhere I can find, but there were on the order of 40 votes cast, with the winning candidate receiving over 80% of the vote. 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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Looking at the data for the current election to date, just under 50% of the votes cast have been in the D7 contest, though in some cases people voted in more than one district, in which case Charlie has to go figure out which district should really apply from those ballots and eliminate the votes from out of district. Total voter turnout is running at slightly over 10% of national membership so far.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Charlie can speak to the # of members in each district.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As a note on process, I actually found it somewhat disturbing that I could not find published in the K-factor the *actual* vote tallies (just the results of who was elected) from those elections I was looking for. 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.</div>
