For your information Election committee is discussing how to answer
Anthony as body, I have a distance from this discussion for spending
my time for more wikivacationique activities ;D

However, I would like you to remark that it is not the case. Election
Committee per se have no ability to generate such statistics unless
they will be granted the access to the results in detail. Right now
only our third party partner have an access to detailed data (who
voted whom) and temporal joining wouldn't be a solution.
