  1. 1 See Glossary for definitions of terms

78 of 84 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out. 1 cell breaks a sum: 'Valid votes', column 2: prints 13,089, columns 3 to 7 add to 13,080.

Reader’s notes

p. 238. Seven columns: stub (Type of case), Total, and five columns under the spanner \"Type of election\". The caption carries footnote marker 1, which is excluded with the caption; the same footnote is printed under the table and is given in `footnotes`.\n\nThe body is five labelled sections (All types, total / RC cases: / RM cases / RD cases / UD cases), each followed by three unindented-in-transcription rows Elections / Eligible voters / Valid votes. The section-label rows carry no values. \"RC cases:\" is printed with a colon; the other four section labels are not.\n\nArithmetic check: every row and every column cross-foots exactly except one cell. In the row \"Valid votes\" under \"RM cases\", the five type-of-election entries as printed sum to 13,080 against the printed Total of 13,089, and the \"Regional director-directed\" column sums to 109,224 against the printed All-types figure of 109,233. Both shortfalls are exactly 9 and meet at the RM/Valid votes/Regional director-directed cell, which I read as 1,367; a value of 1,376 would reconcile both checks, so this is likely a printed digit transposition (or, less likely, a faint glyph in the scan). It is transcribed as printed, 1,367; treat it as doubtful.\n\nIn the \"Expedited elections under 8(b)(7)(C)\" column the leading \"8\" of the heading is clipped by the column rule in the scan but is legible. In that same column the three UD cases entries are printed as a dash rule (- - - -) and are rendered as empty cells; the three RD cases entries are printed zeros and are kept as 0.
