At the end of the voting period, the quorum percentages shown live on the election website were based on an incorrect calculation. The final quorum percentage was calculated using all ballots, including those opened but not submitted, rather than only those submitted. As a result, the displayed quorum percentage was inaccurate at the conclusion of the voting period. It is important to note that the number of ballots submitted is correctly reflected under ‘completed responses,’ and there is no question about the integrity of the ballot or the election otherwise. Only the quorum percentage displayed on the website was based on more data than it should have been. The quorum percentages shown below are the corrected percentages.
