We don't have final figures. We hope to have them some time today. We would already have them if the ULSU website had been updated but given that it hasn't been updated with anything new since last December we'll probably have to get results another way. Or wait two weeks for An Focal to pretend that a two-week old election is still news.
The winners:
President:
Ruan Dillon Mcloughlin
Education:
Aoife Finnerty
Campaigns and services:
Fergal Dempsey
Communications:
Aoife Ni Raghaillaigh
Our quick grade based on our predictions: 4 out of 5
It's a bit more complicated than that though. We got the communications race result wrong but said it was going to be tight. It could have gone either way with the people on the ground and an intervention from experienced campaigners would have tipped it as we said before. Our predictions for President and Campaigns and Services were precise, including the position of the also-rans. In Education the gap between Finnerty and her rivals was a lot bigger than we thought. And we got second-place wrong, Collison-Ryan put up a stronger showing than we thought, although there were large transfers between him and Kerins that never came into play. The rumours floating around that Kerins would have a large cohort out on Thursday proved false and that made the difference. We were the only election blog to predict a Finnerty win. We'd still give ourselves a B+ on the prediction front. When we get full results they will be posted, as well as some commentary on the week.
