Thank you for publishing the results, but I'm afraid they don't really 
make much sense.

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?

Usually vote results are given more clearly (and transparently) as:

Candidate A: Nr. Votes - %
Candidate B: Nr. Votes - %
Abstentions: Nr. Votes - %
N/A: Nr. Votes - % (if possible)

Kindest regards,

Olivier
