    Thank you for publishing the results, but I'm afraid they don't
    really make much sense.<br>
    <br>
    With 94 voting chapters and 44 votes going to Maureen Hilyard, that
    would mean 50 votes did not go to Maureen Hilyard, so does that mean
    that 7 votes or more were abstentions or invalid ballots?<br>
    <br>
    Usually vote results are given more clearly (and transparently) as:<br>
    <br>
    Candidate A: Nr. Votes - %<br>
    Candidate B: Nr. Votes - %<br>
    Abstentions: Nr. Votes - %<br>
    N/A: Nr. Votes - % (if possible)<br>
    <br>
    Kindest regards,<br>
