Hi,
At the time of writing, less than two days before the end of
the vote, the standing are still lower than expected; here is a
comparison with recent years (all but 2006 numbers are the final
tally number):
===================================================================
|| |Total # of| |Valid|Unique|Rejects| | Multiple ||
||Year|Developers|Quorum|Votes|Voters| |% Voting| of Quorum||
-------------------------------------------------------------------
||1999| 347 | 27.90| | 208 | | 59.94 | 7.45 ||
||2000| 347 | 43.24| | 216 | | 62.25 | 7.74 ||
||2001| ?? | ?? | | 311 | | | ||
||2002| 939 | 45.96| 509 | 475 | 122 | 50.58 | 10.34 ||
||2003| 831 | 43.24| 510 | 488 | 200 | 58.72 | 11.28 ||

||2005| 965 | 46.60| 531 | 504 | 69 | 52.23 | 10.82 ||
||2006| 972 | 46.88| 319 | 308 | 31 | 31.69 | 6.57 ||
===================================================================
As you can see, we are still shy of the 1/3rd mark. If you have been
waiting for the last minute to cast your vote, this is it. I would
not advice waiting for the 11th hour, since mistakes happen: people
forget to sign their ballot, send it to the wrong address, or have
problems with their MUA mangling the ballot; leave it too late and
you shall not have time to correct the error.
So, if you have not yet voted, go vote.

FINAL CALL FOR VOTES FOR THE DEBIAN PROJECT LEADER ELECTION 2006
----- ---- --- ----- --- --- ------ ------- ------ -------- ----
Voting period starts 00:00:01 UTC on March 19th, 2006.
Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC on April 8th, 2006.
This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at http://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
For voting questions contact secretary@debian.org.
The details of the candidate platforms can be found at:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/platforms/
HOW TO VOTE
First, read the full text of the platforms and rebuttals..
Do not erase anything between the lines below and do not change the
choice names.
In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1. Place a 2 in
the brackets next to your next choice. Continue till you reach your
last choice. Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger than 8.
You may skip numbers. You may rank options equally (as long as all
choices X you make fall in the range 1<= X <= 8).
Make sure you have read the platforms in detail.
To vote "no, no matter what" rank "None Of The Above" as more
desirable than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the "None Of
The Above" choice, and leave choices you consider unacceptable
blank. Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices. (Note: if the None Of
The Above choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other unranked
choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the None Of
The Above choice by the voting software).
Then mail the ballot to: leader2006@vote.debian.org.
Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters
(">") that your reply inserts. NOTE: The vote must be GPG signed
(or PGP signed) with your key that is in the Debian keyring. You
may, at your option, also elect to send a signed, encrypted ballot.
