Mock Poll

In the mock poll people vote for fake (animal) candidates so that they can see the voting process and platform and find out any discrepancy (technical or procedural) if any. The mock poll was conducted on 12th March in which 30 out of 125 voters casted their votes. The results are available here (http://civs.cs.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/results.pl?num_winners=3&id=E_c4d246396a85854d&algorithm=beatpath).
