Election data
There were originally 21 nominees for the election, with two rounds of voting. The first round, held from June 15 to June 21, narrowed down the nominees to five finalists. Round two, which took place from June 22 to June 28, further narrowed it down to the top two finalists.

Those who didn’t win still had kind words about the other candidates:
The level of intrigue surrounding the race not only emanates from Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) members, but also extends to individuals outside of these communities. Anyone who owns ApeCoin can be part of the ApeCoin DAO.
The increased attention can be partly attributed to the recent controversy surrounding the fees and allowances of Special Councilors. Crypto Twitter users were completely surprised and outraged to find out that the special councilors received hefty payments for their role. This led to more attention for the position and what it entails.
