p. 165. Seven columns: stub plus Total, Consent, Stipulated, Board-directed, Regional Director-directed, and Expedited elections under 8(b)(7)(C). The top heading level has the stub heading 'Type of case' on the left and 'Type of election' spanning the six data columns.\n\nThe five section labels ('All types, total', 'RC cases', 'RM cases', 'RD cases', 'UD cases') carry no values; each is followed by its indented Elections / Eligible voters / Valid votes rows.\n\nIn the three UD cases rows the last column (Expedited elections under 8(b)(7)(C)) holds a dash rule '----', transcribed as an empty cell.\n\nThe scan is a low-contrast 1-bit image: the dotless-i artefact makes 'Elections', 'Eligible voters' and 'Valid votes' render as 'Electlons'/'Ehgible'/'Valtd' in places, but the words are unambiguous. Stray ink specks appear in the stub column beside 'All types, total', 'RM cases' Elections and 'RD cases' Valid votes, and a speck sits between the Total and Consent columns on the first Elections row; none is a digit or footnote marker. The RC 'Valid votes' Board-directed cell reads '1,523' with a faint leading 1.\n\nAll rows and columns cross-foot exactly as printed (e.g. 18+3,259+8+553+2 = 3,840; RC+RM+RD+UD elections = 3,840), so no misprint is suspected. The caption's footnote marker 1 is omitted with the caption; the footnote itself is reported.
