                    to holding the elections, Mwendwa Kivuva withdrew
                    leaving only three remaining candidates. Prior to
                    hosting the elections and preparing ballot papers,
                    we had to verify and check our subscriber database
                    to ensure that things were in order prior to sending
                    the ballot papers. There were some subscribers who
                    had moved and so had inactive email accounts. We had
                    to clean these as well. We also noted that there
                    were some who were subscribe to the mailing list but
                    did not have IGC accounts by registering on the
                    site. We received feedback from some of the
                    subscribers that they did not get ballot papers. The
                    estimated number of subscribers to the mailing list
                    is around 600. The estimated number of account
                    holders who are both subscribed to the mailing list
                    and have IGC accounts is around 400. The number of
                    people who voted was 276. During the elections, we
                    received â€œOut of Office” responses from a few.</span></p>
