Incredible work by the election committee to make this happen in a transparent, fair, and community driven way. Big thanks to everyone who put their name or names or others they respect into the running for one of the boards. So excited to see us take this important step and look forward to the next election cycle as well! |

A heartfelt thank you to the Election Committee for helping the NumFOCUS community to reach this important milestone. To the nominees who did not win this time, your willingness to serve is deeply appreciated. While elections may have winners, this community offers many opportunities for impactful leadership beyond the two newly formed governing bodies. Congratulations to the elected members of the Administrative Board and Technical Committee. May your meetings be short, and your decisions be wise! |

Note
Thomas Wiecki decided to step down from board candidacy after the voting phase, so his votes have not been included.
Edit: The plots have been updated. Thank you, @pradyunsg, for pointing out the discrepancy in the numbers. I reviewed and verified that the results are unchanged, even though the previous numbers were incorrect.
Voting and weighting system
The project votes were weighted as 3 votes for each Sponsored project and 1 vote for each Affiliated project, independent of the number of people voting from a particular project. For example, if n number of people voted from my_awesome_sponsored_project, each vote was weighted as 3/n. Committee member and event chair votes were weighted as 1 vote per individual.
It’s worth noting that the results after calculating weighted votes were identical to the results generated from raw non-weighted votes.
We used checkbox voting, where every voting individual could vote for up to 7 members for the Technical Steering Committee, and up to 3 members for the Administrative Board.
What’s Next? 💬
If you have any questions about the results, please ask them in the Q/A category. We’re working on documenting all aspects of the election, including rationale for all the decisions made. We’ll also have a feedback form where you share your experience participating in the election and ideas to improve the process.
Once again, I thank you all for helping us run the first community-voted election for the NumFOCUS Board. 🌻
