Thank you Jackie + all involved.

This is impressive.  I'd love to see more of an analysis of those
communities + participants.

What do we know about the distribution of community activity among voters,
across communities?
(I would imagine activity was higher on Wikidata because of how edits are
counted)

[Wikimedia-l] Voting closes for the 2021 Board of Trustees election with a record participation

2021-09-01 Thread Jackie Koerner
Thank you for participating in the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of
Trustees election! Voting closed August 31 at 23:59. The official data,
including the four most voted candidates, will be announced as soon as the
Elections Committee completes their review of the ballots. The official
announcement of the new trustees appointed will happen later, once the
selected candidates have been confirmed by the Board.

6,946 community members from 216 wiki projects have voted. This makes 10.2%
global participation, 1.1% higher than in the last Board elections. In
2017, 5167 people from 202 wiki projects cast their vote. A full analysis
is planned to be published in a few days when the confirmed results are
announced. In the meantime, you can check the data produced during the
election.

Diversity was an important goal with these elections. Messages about the
Board election were translated into 61 languages. This outreach worked
well. There were 70 communities with eligible voters voting in this
election for the first time. With your help, next year’s Board of Trustees
election will be even better.
