15,107 people have selected 93,339 options (percentages are the number who voted for that topic of the total people who have voted, so won't add up to 100%).
We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
