Hello everyone,
After carefully tallying both individual and affiliate votes, the Charter
Electoral Commission is pleased to announce the final results of the
Wikimedia Movement Charter voting.
As communicated by the Charter Electoral Commission
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Movement_Charter#Thank_you_for_your_pa…!>,
we reached the quorum for both Affiliate and individual votes by the time
the vote closed on July 9, 23:59 UTC. We thank all 2,451 individuals and
129 Affiliate representatives who voted in the ratification process. Your
votes and comments are invaluable for the future steps in Movement
Strategy.
The final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter> ratification voting held
between 25 June and 9 July 2024 are as follows:
Individual vote:
Out of 2,451 individuals who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 2,446 have
been accepted as valid votes. Among these, 1,710 voted “yes”; 623 voted
“no”; and 113 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count
towards the total number of votes cast, 73.30% voted to approve the Charter
(1710/2333), while 26.70% voted to reject the Charter (623/2333).
Affiliates vote:
Out of 129 Affiliates designated voters who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC),
129 votes are confirmed as valid votes. Among these, 93 voted “yes”; 18
voted “no”; and 18 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t
count towards the total number of votes cast, 83.78% voted to approve the
Charter (93/111), while 16.22% voted to reject the Charter (18/111).
Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees voted not to ratify the proposed
Charter during their special Board meeting on July 8, 2024. The Chair of
the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, Natalia Tymkiv, shared the result
of the vote, the resolution, meeting minutes and proposed next steps
