It was more work than expected. I actually started doing a manual count, then decided halfway that it was too hard and error-prone, and started writing the vote counting script.

The script is here: http://unicast.org/download/vote.tcl

The consensus after last election was that the next election should be done with more automation, perhaps based on the simple-survey package. This was complicated by the fact that last time there were a couple of eligible voters who did not have openacs.org accounts.

By the way, there's some code in that version of the script to print out the names of people who voted for Caroline Meeks; IIRC this was to check for problems because Jarkko got a different count for her.
