== Analysis ==
The raw ballots were published by CES, making it possible to analyze voter behavior
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.
=== Approval election ===

* 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

|x=0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17

}}-->
[[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:
