Reader’s notes
p. 184. Six columns: stub plus "Total elections" and the four "Type of election" columns; both "Type of case" and "Total elections" are tall headings spanning the two heading levels, so they are repeated in both. In the "Regional directed" column the RC, RM and RD blocks (9 cells) are printed as dash rules (------), transcribed as "". Last row, "Regional directed" column: printed as "1 523" with no visible comma (the comma appears lost in the scan); transcribed as 1,523, which is consistent with the "Valid votes, total" line of 1,523 in the same column. The raised 5 in the row labels "RC cases,5 total", "RM cases,5 total", "RD cases,5 total" and "UD cases,5 total" is a footnote marker, recorded as ^5 after the comma as printed. All printed row and column totals cross-foot correctly (cases, eligible voters and valid votes all add across and down); no misprints detected.
