Your reporting on the results of the election is inadequate. It only shows the total number of votes as 244. It does not say how many voted for the chair for example. Please give us the breakdown of the total vote cast, votes for the victor, votes for the loser, abstaintation votes, spoilt vote etc.

I agree with this. Part of the credibility of the election process is the credibility of the counting process. I agree with should have a breakdown of how many votes for each candidate and how many ballots were spoiled. We should have the names of the election monitors, the people who stake their integrity to certify that the counting process was correct and that the results have integrity.

If this was more than a two-candidate contest using single member plurality voting, I would be advocating that the anonymised ballot data be released, so that people could confirm the count themselves. For this simple contest structure, the ballot data does not tell us more than the breakdown of votes by candidate or spoiled-ballot status already tells us.
