Here's last year's actual voting, I honestly don't think it changes the outcome here one bit this year. Might have been worth a few percentage points but not enough to push anyone over 75%.

We had 435 votes cast here this time by 70 voters, averaging just over 6 per person. That's not an indication that too many people were wishing they had room to vote for more guys (I myself voted for 5, certainly no statistical outlier)
