Anyway, the electorate size can be roughly determined yourself:

1. Go to http://maemo.org/profile/list/
2. Find the page which has the first account at karma <10 (128).
3. Multiply the number of people per page (30) by the page number found in step 2, plus any left overs (14)
4. Tada: your magic number is 3,854 :-)

Of course, the Maemo community is larger than that electorate and larger than any one system's account database.
