I post this here to see if there is either an explanation or others experiencing the same.

In the screenshot above you can see I have voted on all 4 current challenges. Please note the following:
1. I have voted on 100% of images.
2. I have entries in the first 2 challenges only.

Inkerly: 61 out of 62 is correct as the system does not allow me to vote on my own entry.
B/W Portrait: How could I have voted 66 out of 66 when I have an entry?
Extended FS: correct
Politically Incorrect: I have voted on all 26 images yet it shows 26 out of 27 (96%) - I have triple checked to ensure there is no image unrated and I do not have an entry myself.

OK that explains the 'Politically Incorrect' numbers but not the 'B/W Portrait' issue.

You've voted on 66 of 66 images available to *you* to vote. There are 67 entries.

ETA: in Inkerly, there are 63 entries, so there's another explanation for the other image you did not vote on.

This still doesn’t explain to me the issue with either inkerly or bw portrait

Michael,
See my earlier post... B&W Portrait is explained by the fact that the total of 66 represents the number of photos available for *you* to vote on. Thius you can vote on all of them.
As far as Inkerly, no, we don't know why it's off by one. I would surmise that there was one removed for some reason during voting.

Edit for typo

Ok we agree that one is out somewhere and the rest make sense now.
