- * “Rejected votes” refers to ballot papers where the vote has not been counted because the ballot paper has not been filled out correctly. This may be because the ballot paper is blank, because the voter has marked more than one preference in one column, because the voter identified himself or herself on the ballot paper, if the voter’s intention is unclear or if the voter has spoiled his or her paper in any way.
- ** “Blank votes” refers to ballot papers where no 1st choice and no 2nd choice have been marked, and no vote has been counted. (This data is only available for 2008.)
- *** “No 2nd preference” refers to ballot papers where voters have only made 1st choice vote and no 2nd choice vote. The first choice vote has been counted. (This data is only available for 2008.)
