EVE Online News

Greetings,

The Noble Citizens of New Eden have spoken, and after tallying the votes, we are delighted to present you with the 16th Council of Stellar Management. We welcome all candidates and are looking forward to continuing our close collaboration with the community on another exciting year in EVE Online.



This year, we saw 38086 confirmed votes with the players from the following top 15 countries leading in the number of votes cast:



On another note, we love EVE Online, so it should not come as a surprise to anyone that the average logon time among all players who participate in the CSM elections is a little over 160 days. It is awesome to see such unwavering passion over the years from you
The next few weeks are going to be dedicated to onboarding of all CSM members. It is an important period where we will go over all the ground rules and ensure we are on the same page in terms of expectations from one another. Therefore, even if the new council is in immediate effect, please be reasonable with your requests and understand that it may take a few weeks before everyone is up to speed.

Fly safe o7
