The voting hours lasted for a full standard day. This granted every Larkinson stationed on every starship or planetary branch enough opportunities to consider the final arguments before visiting one of the polling stations.
Just as expected, over 90 percent of eligible voters in the Larkinson Clan had voted in its first true leadership competition.
The clan did not make it mandatory for everyone to vote, but regardless of this rule, an overwhelming number of clansmen wanted to participate in this historic moment.
They also wanted to make sure that their preferred candidate won!
Most of the Larkinsons that comprised the 10 percent who did not fill in their ballots consisted of those who were stationed well outside of Larkinson strongholds.
Since they couldn't visit any of the physical polling stations, the clan exempted them from the normal rules and granted them the right to cast their votes over the galactic net.
