2.2.1.3.3 The Election

Of the 315 members who activated their membership, only 130 cast their vote. This figure represents less than 41% of the eligible voters and less than 16.5% of the original number of 787 applicants.

Global votes	34,035
African Votes	130
Africa % of global	0.38%

130 votes represents 0.0054% of the dial-up user population (similar to that of the North American region). We can therefore deduce that, although the number of ALM in Africa is numerically low, they are not disproportionately low in comparison with other regions.

The result of the election was that Nii Quaynor was elected after a single ballot, with 67 votes (52%). Alan Levin received 33 votes (25%) and Calvin Brown 30 votes (23%).

Of the e-mail survey sample, 70% of the registered voters actually cast their vote.
