CSM7 Elections: The Results!

The CSM election results were announced earlier by the CEO of CCP, CCP Hellmar, at the EVE Online Fanfest here in Reykjavik. This election has been astonishing to watch, with more campaigning and space drama than we’ve seen in any election so far. So, as promised, the fourteen delegates of the seventh Council of Stellar Management are:

10,058	The Mittani
4,150	Two Step
3,714	Elise Randolph
3,329	Greene Lee
3,184	Trebor Daehdoow
3,163	Kelduum Revaan
2,845	Seleene
2,465	UAxDEATH
2,439	Hans Jagerblitzen
2,289	Meissa Anunthiel
2,284	Dovinian
1,561	Issler Dainze
1,533	Alekseyev Karrde
1,282	Darius III

Congratulations to the delegates. Alexander Gianturco (The Mittani) has re-won the chairman position having won the most votes of the delegates this election. He is also the first candidate to exceed the 10,000 vote mark. This CSM will take office on April 4^th, and their first order of business will be to decide upon the vice-chair, secretary and vice-secretary positions. The full list of results will be available shortly on this page.

Voter Demographics

There were 59,109 votes cast by eligible voters, amassing a turnout of 16.63%. This means that this election once again saw record voter turnout. Of the total votes cast, 563 (0.95%) chose to abstain. This is the lowest number of abstains of any CSM election so far. The CSM6 election saw 659 (1.34%) abstains.

Female users seem less inclined to vote than male users, with 3.51% of voters being female despite making up 5.11% of the total EVE user base.

The average age of users who voted was 32 years, an increase from 31.3 last election. The average age of accounts that voted was 2.89 years, up from the average of 2.66 years last election. This can largely be attributed to the increasing average age of the EVE user base.
