I think it went great! Only one non-contested election (two last term), and some excellent debates that were totally lacking from Term 2.
Participation in terms of votes was good. Most offices had three candidates running for each - meaning that even with limited each citizen to one election, a great many citizens ran for election.
Now, for some concrete numbers. In Term 1, traditionally the most active term, 18 unique citizens ran for office. In Term 2, again, 18 unique citizens ran for office. In both of those terms, the candidates were mostly experienced players.
In Term 3, 22 citizens ran for office, with several being new (or at least unfamiliar) to the DG. The debates were lively in some places, giving Fanaticans a good idea as to the goals of each candidate - sorely missed in Term 2.
All in all - a great success! I hope we pass new legislation continuing this process.
