  1. 1 See Glossary for definitions of terms.
  2. 2 See table 11E for rerun elections held after objections were sustained. In 49 elections in which objections were sustained, the cases were subsequently withdrawn. Therefore, in these cases no rerun elections were conducted.

44 of 44 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.

Reader’s notes

p. 232. Eight columns: stub plus three tall single headings (Objections filed / withdrawn / ruled upon) and two spanner headings (Overruled, Sustained^2), each over Number and Percent of total ruled upon. Decimal points in the percent columns are nearly invisible in this scan (they print as a gap, e.g. "79 6"); they are transcribed as decimal points, which the column arithmetic confirms (each row's two percents sum to 100.0). Doubtful cell: "Expedited elections", Overruled / Number. The glyph is faint and could be read as either 1 or 4; I transcribe 4 because the row's own figures require it (4 overruled + 2 sustained = 6 ruled upon, and 4/6 = 66.7 percent as printed) and because the Overruled column then sums to the printed total 711 (46 + 473 + 4 + 185 + 3). Read as 1 the column would total 708. All other columns cross-foot exactly to the "All representation elections" line in both the by-type-of-case and by-type-of-election panels. "Board-directed elections", Sustained / Percent of total ruled upon is a dash rule, recorded as an empty cell; the Sustained / Number cell on that line is a printed zero. The stub column carries no heading on either level. A small stray ink mark sits just left of the "Sustained" heading; it is a scan artifact, not a footnote marker. The caption's footnote reference (Fiscal Year 1974 superscript 1) is part of the omitted caption.
