yesterday a friend of mine gave me this (script-generated) counting of votes cast over the languages in the various projects so far
I think this partly reflects the number of candidates per language. I remember checking this for the earlier elections and seeing that a candidate in a language increased the number of voters above what you'd expect if the number of votes had any relation to the number of editors. It's to be expected that people be more interested in voting if they know at least one candidate, even if they don't want to vote for that candidate.
The top 6 are the 6 with candidates who speak that language:
english - 1003 (10 candidates) german - 320 (2 candidates) french - 124 (1 candidate) dutch - 101 (1 candidate) spanish - 89 (1 candidate) finnish - 52 (1 candidate)
No Native American voters are represented. Very sad.
