See this topic instead for the _results_ of the election. That’s settled:

> The voting service we’re using claimed all 13 candidates won, as any voter can verify by clicking the link you should have received from it in email today. So I took the liberty of downloading the counts, and sorting them from most votes to last. The top 4 actually won according to counts, but it won’t be official until the PSF says so.

Nope, it was “user error” in configuring the election at the start. It was always intended that there would be exactly 4 winners, as was announced all along in various places, but the “number of winners” box in the _voting service_ election setup UI was left blank by mistake.

As glitches go, very minor.
