I don't think it's a good idea to give someone such information unless *everyone* gets it.
I can understand not wanting to make the information public, although just releasing a breakdown of the number of votes made seems harmless. For instance, something like:
0 votes: 12 1 vote: 56 2 votes: 23 3 votes: 98 4 votes: 42 5 votes: 33 6 votes: 23 7 votes: 21 8 votes: 44 9 votes: 65
I'm not sure how useful that's going to be, it'd certainly be *more useful* to know the actual correlations, but it'd be somewhat useful to see how many people are voting exactly 1 vote, or exactly 3 candidates, or 0 candidates, or n-1 candidates, or n candidates (where n is the total number of candidates, which I believe was 12).
Next time, we need exit polls :).
It may be interesting to see how many people voted for exactly three candidates. In some discussions in the early days of the votation a few people on it.wp were convinced that they could cast a maximum of three votes.
