The results for each of the eight candidates
(Yeses, Nos, Abstains)
The full list of those who voted (although not, of course, how they voted)
I would be inclined not to release this information for a few reasons:
1) We don't want this degrading into some numerical popularity contest.
2) Some of the margins were very close, and we don't need people
second-guessing the way that they cast their votes because of this.
3) A list of people who did vote could be used to disenfranchise
people who did not vote.
Unless there is a big issue with it, I think it's better to just keep
all this information private.
+1.
This is not a popularity contest This is simple majority voting. The
intricate details are not important.
Having said that, if any candidate (successful or otherwise) would like
to ask me privately what criteria I used for deciding how to vote I
would be happy to share that (but not who I voted for - again, I feel
that is irrelevant).
