detailed results

For the curious, I took the detailed JSON results output from SecurePoll and made it a bit more human readable - https://phab.wmfusercontent.org/file/data/bbri6mkf6yt6we2adw27/PHID-FILE-poslf6sqfghjhktnseia/election_detailed_results Bawolff (talk) 08:01, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Sankey diagram

Thanks @Waldyrious: for the addition of the Sankey Diagram! It's really interesting to visually see how the supports flowed through the STV votes. I wonder if an opposite diagram might be possible - how would votes have gone to other candidates if the eliminations went in the opposite direction? Mike Peel (talk) 20:04, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

I think that would only be possible via re-running the election with the full ballot data. For example, it may be possible to derive the percentage of your votes that would be allocated to Shani and Michał based on the distribution of surplus votes in round 5, but that reveals nothing about who of the previously eliminated candidates your voters would prefer as a second choice. But maybe others will have better insights into this question. Waldyrious (talk) 20:38, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Graph of cumulative preferences

Some people were asking about things like "How many people marked my favorite candidate as being either first or second preference", so i made the following graph to visualize that:
