Turnout is never high, probably due to the Green Party of England and Wales having a philosophical basis of rejecting the hierarchical structure of leaders and followers. But I had hoped for more people engaging with the process given it's all electronic these days.

2025 Green Party leadership election Zack Polanski 20,411 84.6% Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns 3,705 15.4% Re-open nominations 149 0.6% Turnout: 24,265

Fair enough. It's like local election voting, for some reason people don't think it involves or affects them.

Or in some cases can't vote (there's someone upthread unable to access their account, for example).

149 RONs is nothing, though. Shows that the candidates weren't the problem.
