OK, looking at the map, there are exactly 35 uncolonized stars and 35 colonized stars on the map. But that is not including the Meklar! So, in all likelihood, the ratio is probably more like 30 uncolonized, 40 colonized.
40/70 = 57%.
47/70 = 67%
So I would wager that, during the next player's turnset, we will trip the threshold. We are set to settle 3 more within the next 5 turns. The Meklar will probably settle more, if they haven't already.
If we are lucky, the vote will occur after 2374, so that we will have some breathing space before the next election after that. (Assuming we skate by the first one!...)
