Your report conveniently excludes one vital statistic: 5 of the non-elected candidates nevertheless gained in excess of the seat-qualifying 50%. Compare that with previous years' elections. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 21:23, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's not really an outlier. There have been plenty of years in "recent" (i.e. SecurePoll-run elections) where many candidates had >50% supports but were far from getting a seat. Look at WP:ACE2013 or WP:ACE2012 for instance. Last year was a relative anomaly. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 13:57, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding an explanation for the "major drop in opposes," that's easy, I didn't run this year! Congratulations to the winners. Wbm1058 (talk) 04:55, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
