Just an update on this:
Currently 26 of the eligible affiliates have voted. A further 9 have either confirmed they are planning to vote, or have engaged substantively in the process (e.g. by nominating someone or participating in the Wikimedia Conference session on the subject). I'd expect most of them will do so.
Those whose intentions I don't know at all include Hong Kong, Hungary, Czech Republic, India, Macedonia, and Macau. At least one of those appears to be completely inactive.
Regards,
Chris
Many thanks

Hello,
As of now, 13 of 42 eligible organizations have voted in the 2016 chapters' election for 2 of 10 Wikimedia Foundation seats on the board of trustees. In the last election, 1/3 of organizations did not vote. Anyone who wishes to influence the election could do so by asking sleepier chapters to vote by the May 7 end of election.
Feel free also to pressure more active chapters to do their duty to support less organized chapters in voting. Support can mean having chapter-to-chapter encouragement to vote. All chapters appreciate being reminded. All eligible organizations are supposed to vote. The election result is more sound with more votes.
