During the primaries three people withdrew from the election, but they're showing up as candidates again on the elections page.

Is that intended? I thought at least the primaries were supposed to limit the number of people being voted on to 10. Considering that three people withdrew, I expected to only see 9 candidates remaining for the voting stage.

  • Or at the very least the two most negative candidates eliminated if it was ignoring their withdrawal.

  • ... well, this is probably bad. Unless there's some exotic, alternate meaning of "withdraw" and "10" I'm not aware of.

    Good thing it was fixed or I would've won. Both spots.

Due to a bug these three withdrawn candidates were put in to the final election. I have fixed the bug, removed the votes for these candidates, and emailed anyone who cast votes for these three candidates.

    I'm guessing the counter on the side is cached or something, shouldn't it update to reflect that there is now 9 moderator candidates?

  • @Thomas Well, there are 12 participating candidates in total, it's just that 3 of them withdrew before the election.
