True, and the rest who didn't bother to vote can't complain :-)

It is relatively pointless to compare elections in free software projects, but as a reference: the Debian project leader was elected with 406 votes and the GNOME Foundation board was decided with 213 votes.
I think percentages are more interesting, those results were out of electorate bodies of 1013 (40%) and 369 (57%) respectively.

The elections for the Fedora Board have more voters (can't find the total amount)
This post indicates 18252 which would make 225 ballots a mere 1.2% (ie much worse than maemo.org). The one before that was a bit better with 8163 eligible voters / 297 valid ballots (3.6%).

and... anybody knows where to find the Ubuntu council election stats?
Couldn't find that either, though this may indicate the number of eligible voters.
