Disappointing turnout. This Peter Brett I'm hearing about seems like a shady character ;)

Yeah, it was quite low. We're only a small party right now with not a huge amount of members though so it is understandable.

approximately 12%ish turnout. in previous voting we had a similar turnout votes-wise. this suggests an increasing number of members don't bother being active.

Congratulations all.

We should try and Lure them back. More active members are more likely to renew.

When it comes to relection I will have the hugely unfair advatage of being able to email my regions members about my running :) .... I mean increase turnout...

Let's put everything we have into the Scottish elections and make them a success, and that'll bring in more people.
(and let's consider turning to subscriptions instead of membership fees!)

Single-runner elections usually have a low turnout, although I am disappointed about being elected 8/1/0... 9 is a very low turnout.

Thanks to those who voted for me though :D

high-five to Andrew Paliwoda for us having the joint largest turnout :D

Though perhaps the high-five should go to Jack for the 0 re-open votes.

quite low turnouts, as mentioned. Still, at least everyone actually got a majority of votes cast.

Probably if we'd had contested elections, it might have been higher, as that gives people a lot more motivation to cast their vote.

I did vote, but there seemed to be a lack of talk about policy or strategy. So unless one knows the individuals who stood it's all a bit meaningless. Anyway, congratulations to those who won.
