![While the memo from Frelke and Newbille stated that “53.6% of respondents” had voted to remove the added courts, it’s not immediately clear which option garnered the most votes. After publication, Tamara Jenkins, deputy director, public affairs in the Office of Strategic Communications & Civic Engagement (OSC), provided vote totals for each option in response to an inquiry from The Lookout:
Option 1: 358 votes
Option 2: 139 votes
Option 3: 273 votes
It appears that the “majority” that DPR cited in favor of reversing the expansion of the pétanque courts derives from combining the votes for Options 2 and 3. ([139+273] / 770 = 53.506%.) Both those options include removal of the courts, but diverge on how to allocate other funds for Chimborazo Playground. Meanwhile, Option 1, which included completing the new courts, reached a plurality of votes, netting a 46.5% share of all the ballots cast, but did not reach a majority, either.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sqqg2uh4ru6zvnf3xhg34fjs/bafkreicigl22oj34wzv5q7hvhe3xli5ggiyltdcdha4imgwks3kknrf4li)
