2.2.2.2.5 The Election Phase and Voters

Masanobu Katoh was elected by an overwhelming majority of 78.4%. Lulin Gao of China earned 9.9% of the vote, and Johannes Chiang 5.3%. Compared to the North American region, where the election moved through five automatic runoffs because of intense competition, the election in the Asia and Pacific region was a landslide. Katoh's winning percentage was higher than that achieved by the winner in any of the other regions.

The three tables below, 2, 3, and 4, show that at all stages of the At Large election process the proportion of individuals participating from the Asia and Pacific was the highest of all regions. Table 5 shows the history of verified members from the selected countries in the region and Canada, Germany, United Kingdom and Untied States. These four countries had the highest number of members when the first registration figures were released and so are a useful data point against which to view membership growth in the selected Asia and Pacific countries.
