Hello!
Thank you all for pushing these last days. It helped us meet quorum.
Election results will be certified no later than March 20th, as early as March 15th.
I wanted to share the following descriptive comparison between 20016 and 2018 election cycles.
In the final report I will run some statistical tests to confirm whether the differences between the year are significantly different or not.
For the moment – these are just for observation and not to be taken as final.
I purposefully have not included the actual numerator and denominators. This is because I have yet to certify the results.
| ELECTION SEGMENT | 2018 | 2016 |
| KPFA L | 14% | 15% |
| KPFA S | 52% | 38% |
| KPFK L | 11% | 14% |
| KPFK S | 42% | 33% |
| KPFT L | 17% | 15% |
| KPFT S | 46% | 36% |
| WBAI L | 14% | 14% |
| WBAI S | 47% | 36% |
| WPFW S | 43% | 31% |
As you can see, we did much better in all Staff elections, again without testing this we cannot say for sure – but – I think that the result will be a significant increase in Staff voter participation at every station. For the listener election – we have a mixed bag. Again – hard to tell if these differences are significant.
