The results of the Backwaters T shirt poll

The first nationwide polls for deciding THE Backwaters T Shirt are over. There was a very enthusiastic response from the voters and barring a few remote locations like the Computer Center, brisk to heavy voter turnout was recorded across regions.

While the entire process concluded peacefully, there was an attempt at booth-capturing in the Library constituency that resulted in the polls being countermanded and restarted at 1.30 PM. This also seemed to have dampened the enthusiasm among the respondents.

Lets have a look at the candidates for this poll.

1. Design Candidate 1




2. Design Candidate 2



3. Design Candidate 3



4. Design Candidate 4



The initial rounds of polling saw Design 1 emerge as the clear leader with only Design 4 being able to give it a semblance of a fight. Design 3 was never in the race at all and seemed to have been propped up to split some opposition votes.

Design 2 picked up steam after the first 100 votes had been cast and garnered a major chunk of the next 50 votes cast and came within breathing distance of Design 1 which failed to capitalise on its whirlwind start. Design 4 continued to clock steady gains while Design 3 ckept falling behind.

The next 50 votes had an even split between Design 2 and Design 4 while Design 1 started stuttering badly. It had clearly lost its initial momentum as more and more voters from outside the IIMK campus started participating in the polls.

The next 50 votes were going to be crucial for all three lead contenders as there was nothing to separate them. It was in this penultimate round that Design 4 made its decisive push for the lead. Its strong showing in this round, coupled with another lack lustre outing at the hustings by Design 1 meant that it had significant momentum going into the last phase of polls.

The last phase saw some impressive gains being made by Design 1 while there was a relatively sedate performance by Design 2. Design 3 had clearly failed to capture the voting public's imagination.

The performance -

Design 1    2.4
Design 2    2.4
Design 3    3.0
Design 4    1.9


As is clear from the scores above (the lower the better), Design 4 has emerged as the clear choice of the voting junta while Design 1 and Design 2 are tied for a very distant second spot. Design 3 brings up a rather ignominous rear.
