So that others don’t have to click through the link, temporarily add yet another random polling site to their NoScript whitelist, cross-reference which ballot measure was which, and do the math:

Bylaws change 1 (merger of Contributing and Managing member classes): 94.2% yes (603 total votes)  
Bylaws change 2 (treating past voting activity as intent to continue voting): 93.2% yes (602 total votes)  
Bylaws change 3 (empowering the Board to remove Fellows for CoC violations by majority vote): 81.3% yes (605 total votes)

As for the board nominees, congratulations. I admit I don’t recognize any of their names; of the other candidates I recognize only one name, and would have voted against were I a PSF member (which of course I have no interest in being now).
