With the total number of RCVS voters standing at 3,887 and VN voters at 723, the turnout for this year's elections were lower when compared to previous years.
RCVS Registrar Jane Hern said: "It's certainly disappointing that the turnout has dropped so much this year. It is unclear whether this is due to lack of time, lack of awareness or lack of interest."
