enough that even if the election were to end now, I believe that people would be

voting, and the actual number of voters. Beyond that, I'm not comfortable
giving more specifics since voting is still under way.</span></p>

<p>I don't know if it's kosher, but given that we have just
under a week left of voting, would it be premature to ask how many people have
voted so far in the election?</p>

<p> </p>

<div>
<p>I'm not asking for specific candidate vote tallies. I just
want to know if 10, 30, or 150 people have voted so far, because knowing will
help us to determine if we should do a last ditch effort to get out the vote.</p>

<p>At the very least, I'd hope that with such a small number of
dues-paying members, those who are elected would be chosen by at least 50% of
those eligible to vote.</p>
