Not much of a set back (imo) in the overall scheme of things.

BTW, it was reported in another thread that results were visible when the polls were closed, when I checked they were not. I think there may have even been a statement posted about them not being calculated yet.

Can someone clear this up? I would ask in that other thread but will not comment in it and promote its content until the polls are officially closed.
I'm not sure which other thread?

The raw votes are automatically available at the end date of the election. It's possible to download a .blt file which can then be used to calculate the results of the election. Anyone can then run the election using the OpenSTV software and calculate the results for the election.

The delay was 3 hours from the moment that a post was sent here, but the election was closed from 2am to 5pm French time - roughly 15 hours. An extra day voting time seems reasonable to me.

Cheers,
Dave.
