Types of Elections Conducted, Fiscal Year 1953

p. 114. Six printed columns: stub, "Total elections", and four columns under the spanner "Type of election". The spanner is repeated across its four columns, and the tall single headings "Type of case" and "Total elections" are repeated on both heading levels. In the "All elections, total" row the superior 5 is printed to the LEFT of 6,208 in the "Total elections" column; it is the footnote 5 marker (footnote 5 explains the exclusion of 39 inconclusive elections), so it is transcribed as 6,208^5. The superior 6 in the row labels "RC cases,6 total", "RM cases,6 total", "RD cases,6 total" and "UD cases,6 total" is likewise a marker, placed after the comma as printed. The "Regional director directed" cells for the RC, RM and RD blocks (nine cells in all) hold dash rules in the original and are transcribed as "". No arithmetic was altered. For the record, every row and column in the body is internally consistent as printed (e.g. 3,284+921+1,990+13 = 6,208; the four case-type blocks sum to the three "total" rows), so no misprint is suspected. Scan quality: the page is a clean 300-ppi bitonal scan; a few i-dots are lost ("Eligible"/"Valid" print as "Eligible"/"Valid" with broken dots, "Stipulated" as "Stipu-lated"), but no digit was doubtful. The word "for" in footnote 2 is set in a heavier face in the scan, an artefact rather than emphasis; footnote 2 ends without a period, as printed.
