    I had been keeping track of who voted and whom I needed to send reminders to, so I do have how many people voted on what days. Would it be legal to release the information?

    The Elections and Referendums Code, section 2.6, states:

    All vote totals and count details, except those which might undermine the secrecy of the ballot, shall be published by the Secretary of State after the election is completed, to ensure the transparency of the system.


    So, as long as you don't identify who voted when (because that might give something away), I don't see any problem.

    I didn’t keep track of who voted on what day: just the fact that they voted or not. So here are the totals:

    March 4: 3
    March 5: 9 (12)
    March 6: 2 (14)
    March 7: 1 (15)
    March 8: 1 (16)
    March 15: 1 (17)
    March 16: 1 (18)
    March 17: 3 (21)

    These tallies are somewhat surprising to me. 9/21 votes came in after the initial bump the first two days. 4/21 votes came in on the final two days. Interesting results. Campaigning to the last minute is a good idea.

    More than half the election was over in the first two days - unsurprising. But the amount of people who kept it to the last minute are a bit of a surprise. In fact, those final three voters might have swung the election. Bloody buggering hell. Maybe releasing the last paragraph of the manifesto on the last day of the election was a decisive problem after all.

    I do note that there was an entire week with no-one voting. Is this an argument for cutting the voting period to one week?

    Neither, nor. Maybe we'd have to ask the electors, if they remember an election which they would have missed if the voting period was only one week.

    But we'll have to take a look at the campaigning side, too. How many of the candidates would have been missing the "hot phase" of a campaign, if the voting period would be only one week?

    I think it's easy to miss one week; two weeks may be a long time, but it suits our part-time Talossan life well.

    I don't know. It would seem to be a case but maybe the hard campaigning in the last week made more of an impact than I would have thought.
