Election Notes

Turnout : In a number of districts, the total votes exceeds the number on the recorded 'Official Voters List'. It may be that this is an initial list and qualified voters were added to the list during the electoral process. This includes:
Baker Lake - 719 votes, 698 voters on the official list
Cambridge Bay - 672 votes, 584 voters on the official list
Iqaluit Centre - 477 votes, 415 voters on the official list

To avoid greater than 100% voter turnout, the electors column was set to the number of votes cast, generating a likely false perfect or near perfect turnout in these districts. Use with caution.

An alternative strategy is to use the average turnout for all other districts to impute the number of voters on the list (1/average turnout X votes cost = number of electors on voters list).

Election Result Notes

Note : Official returns show an official voters list of 415, fewer voters than votes cast. Adding those that voted in early polls (41) raises this to 465, still 12 fewer than the number who voted. We have imputed total electors as the total number of votes cast. Use with caution.
