Reader’s notes

p. 255. Six printed columns: stub (Type of case), Total, and five columns under the spanner "Type of election". The caption carries footnote marker 1 (excluded per instructions); footnote 1 is printed below the table. The five section labels ("All types, total", "RC cases", "RM cases", "RD cases", "UD cases") are label-only rows; their value cells are blank in the image. The terminal punctuation on these labels is degraded in the scan — each shows a small mark that is most consistent with a colon (standard in this table series), though "All types, total." and "UD cases." could be read as periods. Transcribed as colons. The three UD cases rows have a dash rule ("------") in the "Expedited elections under 8(b)(7)(C)" column, transcribed as "" per instructions; the UD "Board-directed" cells are a printed 0. All arithmetic cross-checks pass: each row's five election-type columns sum to its Total, and the four case-type blocks (RC, RM, RD, UD) sum to the "All types, total" block in every column. No misprints detected.
