I believe that is one of the all time low records on voter > turnout. We already had a brief discussion with pingou this morning (UTC) on this topic. Pingou has created a nice post on this: http://blog.pingoured.fr/index.php?post/2015/06/29/FESCo-vote-history I am not sure what caused such a low number of voters. Here are some thoughts/areas what we can possibly be improved: * Better timing -- I do not think this is the case as I am not aware of any big event which possibly limited people to vote. * Prolongation of voting period -- For the last two Elections we had one week voting period only. In the past we typically had two weeks voting period. Possibly some people might were off-line for a whole week and had a limited chance to vote. However the previous Elections (also with the voting period of a one week) were the second in number of voters. * Better advertisement -- Any ideas how to attract people to vote ? -- Nominated people to present them self in their own way ... Any ideas are welcome.
