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 "Total vote as percentage of electors on the list" may include eligible electors who were sworn in at the polls; this column should therefore be used only as a rough guide to voter turnout.
