Description

The election result announcement lacks a breakdown of who received how many votes were cast overall, and how many for each candidate etc. Some breakdown of how many people voted and how the votes went would be useful to gauge the health and engagement of the AC in the AB selection process.

The data might also expose things like if members are only voting for very few (or maybe even just one!) candidates, which would hopefully mean we switch to ranked voting or something better.
