Notes: Constituencies listed in descending order of value in column 2. All figures for main ballot only (21 Oct. 1909). Reading example: in the rural constituency of 15: Freiberg, where the proportion of workers among enfranchised electors (49.1%) was close to the median but below the average (53.2%) for all rural constituencies, the proportion of workers among all voters was exactly equal to the proportion of the vote won by the SPD (51.6%): thus the figure in col. 7 is 100.0. See Ritter's table for absolute numbers and calculations of ballots as well as voters.
