Thanks for the results!

In addition, it would be interesting if there would be possible to 
complete the Election Results with the following information: total 
number of members entitled to vote, number of members who actually 
voted and number of invalid ballots.

It seems that more than 50% of members abstained to vote for either 
of two candidates what seems to be a special message to the 
leadership of the TS.

Best regards,
Anton
