There were only 9 votes from Ukrainian community in 2013, I believe
So this year we just made sure that our community REALLY knows about the elections, thus we:
- translated the candidates statements into Ukrainian - prepared a short table with the essence of these statements in Ukrainian and posted it in the Village pump [1] - created a list of everybody eligible to vote from Ukrainian Wikipedia and sent them a message with invitation to vote and with the links to read more about the candidates via talk pages - and just talked :)

... it would be good to talk a bit about the state of our community and movement.
Initially, I was quite positively surprised by the fact that this will be the best WMF Board elections ever in the terms of turnout of voters. It will beat 2007 elections and it will be likely 2.5 times better than previous one.
I would really like to know what's so different than in 2013. Also, if this is the sign of the community health, how come that we are now better than we were at the peak of our movement?
There's a fair chance the difference says far more about the amount of effort spent getting the word out about the election, than about how much the movement cares about it compared to previous elections.
