CSM 20 has officially been announced, and capsuleers across New Eden now know who will be representing them for the next term. The Council of Stellar Management continues to play a vital role in shaping the direction of EVE Online, and this year’s election shows just how strong community engagement has become.
Record-Setting Participation for CSM 20
The 20th Council of Stellar Management saw one of the most remarkable election seasons to date. This year, an impressive 55 candidates stepped forward with diverse backgrounds, goals, and visions for the game. Even more noteworthy was the massive turnout: 49,870 players voted, making CSM 20 the second highest voter turnout in CSM history, surpassed only by CSM 7.
Such strong engagement highlights how much capsuleers care about the future of the game. The community’s passion for making EVE Online better each year continues to drive deeper collaboration between CCP and the players.
