The results are in! The Fedora Elections for the Fedora 24 release cycle of FESCo and the Council concluded on Tuesday, July 26th. The results are posted on the Fedora Voting Application and announced on the mailing lists. You can also find the full list of winning candidates below. I would also like to share some interesting statistics in this July 2016 Elections Retrospective.
2016 Elections Retrospective Report
In short, voter turnout is approximately on its average level (well, slightly below).
Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo)
We had four vacant seats and five nominations for the F24 cycle, with 196 voters casting their votes.
| FESCo Winning Candidates | Votes |
| Stephen Gallagher (sgallagh) [info] | 655 |
| Josh Boyer (jwb/jwboyer) [info] | 619 |
| Dennis Gilmore (dgilmore/ausil) [info] | 557 |
| Dominik Mierzejewski (rathann) [info] | 474 |
Compared to the historical data, with 196 voters, we are slightly bellow the average of 213 voters, which seems to understandable due to the fact we are in the middle of the vacations season.
The statistics showing how many people voted each day during the voting period is also quite interesting.
For this Election, we sent reminders on the first, fourth, and last day of the voting period, which is reflected in the charts as an increase of voters comparing to a day before the reminder.
Out of the four elected nominees, three (sgallagh, jwboyer and dgilmore) have been elected for a repeat term. One elected nominee (rathann) has been elected for the first time (AFAIK).
Fedora Council
We had one vacant seat and two nominations for the Fedora 24 cycle, with 189 voters casting their votes.
| Council Winning Candidate | Votes |
| Langdon White (langdon) [info] | 240 |
The Fedora Council came into existence in November 2014, and hence, we do not have much previous data. Historically, before there was a Council, there was a Board. On the chart below you can see the comparison between voter turnout for the Fedora Board elections vs Council Elections. The average voters turnout for Council & Board elections is 221, and for Council only is the average 206.
The profile for number of voters per day was similar to the one we saw for FESCo.
Langdon have been elected for a repeat term and will stay within Council at least for the next two release cycles.
