It is therefore possible for the total number of votes cast in any electoral district to exceed the number of names on the official list of electors. Similarly, the column headed " vote as percentage of electors on the list" may include eligible electors who were sworn iu at the polls; this column should therefore be used only as a rough guide to voter turnout.
