Ivar here:

My question on this whole thing is WHY does the populace of Bjornsborg not 
get to voice their opinion because a VOLUNTEER senschal forgot, for whatever 
reason, to bring the ballots to
the only meeting that we had during _your_ chosen timetable.
That meeting was mainly directed at the upcoming event to
invest our new Baron and Baroness. Plus it was the meeting
where the office of seneschal was turned over. Lots of confusion,
and a very busy meeting.

Isn't part of the SR seneschal's job to help all of the groups,
not to be what appears to be dictatorial. If something as
important as selecting a name for the region is not going the
way everyone expected, perhaps a few inquires to the appropriate people 
would be in order. To barge ahead, ignoring a sizeable
portion of the population of the region, just to keep an
arbitrary timetable, is very counter-productive.

And Gilli asks below, exactly what I wonder: why weren't the groups who 
didn't send the votes to you contacted to find out what happened?

I'm also curious.  When the due date came and went, and only four of the 
groups had reponded, why weren't the other four groups contacted to see what 
their vote status was?  I'm sure there was a good reason.  I'd just be 
interested in knowing what it was. :)
