Fewer people were present than votes cast, possibly influencing key outcomes such as the rejection of Article 39 by a close margin and the passage of Article 40. Notably, attendance dwindled throughout the evening, leading to concerns about the presence of a quorum and potential voter irregularities. Investigations into voter fraud are underway following observations of individuals possessing multiple voting devices and leaving clickers with others.
