You can download the ballots for each category: http://maemo.org/vote/
E.g.: For beginners category: http://maemo.org/vote/blt.php?election_id=27

If you look at the file you see that it is essentially a list of votes with the first line being no vote and the last lines being no votes.
So, the easiest "ad-hoc" method to count the overall number of votes would be to download the ballots, remove all "non-vote" lines at the top and bottom and count the remaining lines.

Edit:
To make the counting even easier you can use the following snippet:
Code:
grep -e "^1.*" /tmp/election.blt | wc -l
Edit2:
Here you have the full numbers:
Code:
[rc@colin coding_competition_2012]$ for i in *blt; do tail -n 1 $i ;
grep -e "^1.*" $i | wc -l ; echo "-----" ; done

The voter turnout is pretty low actually...
