> 
> A total of 18691 ballots were submitted.  Of these 17461 were retained
> as valid and 1230 were discounted as invalid.

> 930 cases where the same user at the same wiki attempted to submit
> multiple ballots, and an additional 256 cases where the same user
> voted multiple times using accounts from different wikis (technical
> evidence was used to establish that the accounts were shared and not
> just coincidentally named).  The final 44 ballots were eliminated due
> to various other issues, including cases of deliberate sockpuppetry.

> From the collection of 17461 accepted ballots:
