What the Numbers Say So Far

320 ballots in about 24 hours, almost all from South Africa, after the launch on 4 November.
268 of 320 ballots (84%) vote in only one category. Only 40 voters filled in all seven. Most voters are coming in for one nominee they know.
35 of 77 nominees have no votes yet. A public board would show those zeros next to their names.
In three categories the leader already holds more than three quarters of the votes, so a public board would show a near-settled race three weeks before the close.
