Turnout for the ALA election to date, while not spectacular, has exceeded last year’s slump and sets a record for ballots cast to date, plus, like 2004, exceeds total returns for the last all-paper election.
As of 4/6/06, 10,309 have voted, including 8,893 electronic and 1,416 paper.
Compare with earlier years:
Total as of 4/6/05: 6,091
Total as of 4/8/04: 8,309 (total votes cast in election: 12,562)
Total votes in 2003 election (pre-electronic): 9,844
Come on, turn in that ballot! I am betting that you got a nudge. Thanks to Mary G. at ALA for crunching the nums.
