== Analysis ==
The raw ballots were published by CES, making it possible to analyze voter behavior:.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://results.electology.org/RLC2015/RLCNC_2015_StrawPoll.csv|website=results.electology.org|access-date=2018-12-16|title=RLCNC_2015_StrawPoll.csv|date=|last=|first=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=}}</ref>
 
Every voter approved of at least one candidate, though 3 (0.4%) did not vote in the plurality election, and 10 (1.3%) did not score any candidate.

* There were 1.8 approvals per ballot on average, with a maximum of 14 on one ballot.
* 70% of voters [[W:Bullet voting|bullet-voted]] for only one candidate
 
=== Score election ===
The most common behavior was to bullet-vote for only one candidate, leaving the rest blank, while the second most common behavior was to score every candidate on the ballot (not including write-ins):
<!--{{Graph:Chart|width=600|height=200
|xAxisTitle=Number of candidates rated|yAxisTitle=Voters (%)|type=rect|showValues=format:.2r
|x=0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17
|y=1.28, 44.03, 4.11, 3.72, 2.82, 2.05, 2.31, 0.51, 0.77, 0.9, 0.13, 0.64, 0.77, 1.41, 2.57, 5.65, 25.55, 0.77
|colors=#2ca02c
}}-->
 
[[File:2015 RLC ratings per ballot.svg]]Explicit scores were distributed somewhat evenly, but blanks dominated the distribution, especially when blanks for write-ins (which are inevitable) are included:
