In the past the numbers have been given to the candidates, announced at the 
open Board meeting at Symposia, and published in the Q1 issue of DECUScope.

In chatting with one the candidates the numbers were approx...

	Total Ballots = 8000

	1. 4600 votes\
	2. 4400 votes  \
	3. 4100 votes  /------ Don't think your vote counts? (It does)
	4. 4000 votes/
	5. 3000 votes
	6. 2000 votes

These numbers are unofficial and 2nd hand. In the last election there was about 
10,000 ballots.
