  • Election 2012-Descriptive Stastical Analysis-1
    DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICAL ANALYSIS 2012 General Elections By Myrtle Palacio INTRODUCTION This is a generalized descriptive statistical analysis of the 2012 General Elections. Using 2008 as the base year for comparison with the 2012 Elections, the analysis will scrutinize the electoral divisions by administrative district. Voter turnout will be targeted in place of pure numbers primarily for uniformity, as the voter populations of electoral divisions are not equal, and may cause the outcome to be perceived as misleading. For example in Toledo West, the variance of win is 1,297 and in Fort George it is 487. In terms of pure numbers Toledo West demonstrates a party popularity of nearly three times that of Fort George. However the outcomes for both are nearly the same when the percentage is utilized: the PUP candidate in Toledo West garnered 62.45% voter popularity and the PUP candidate in Fort George garnered 61.92%. Voter turnout and party popularity indicate voter participation at the polls and to a great extent communicates voter behaviour or attitude; and the outcomes in the examples clearly conveys that nearly two- thirds of the Voters wanted the PUP. The data for this exercise come primarily from two tables in the Appendix, namely Appendix i “Summary Result of General Elections 1979 to 2012” and Appendix ii “Election Outcome by Division Party and Voter Participation”. Table ii compares the voter turnout of 2008 with that of the 2012 election by party and by division. The source for the tables and appendices are my recent publications and papers and the Elections and Boundaries Department for 2012 election result.

  • The What and How of Boundary Redistricting 2004
    THE WHAT AND HOW OF BOUNDARY REDISTRICTING 2004 By Myrtle Palacio What Is Boundary Redistricting? Boundary Redistricting and Boundary Delimitation are terminologies used interchangeably for the process of fixing, drawing, altering and/or increasing electoral boundaries. It is done to decrease substantial differences in the population ratio between electoral divisions. A new Electoral List compiled after Re-registration in 1998, demonstrated a difference in population ratio between the largest and smallest electoral divisions of 3.5 to 1. By September 2003, the gap widened to 4.4 to 1. The growth of the Electoral Roll at September 2003 is evidence that ten Electoral Divisions have grown by 25% or more. Five of these Electoral Divisions are in the Belize District namely, Lake Independence, Queen's Square, Belize Rural South, Pickstock and Port Loyola, in descending order. Of the remaining five, one is the Orange Walk South Division, and all four Electoral Divisions in the Cayo District. Boundary Redistricting is most commonly associated with majority electoral systems as ours. Success at the polls in the First Past the Post Electoral System (FPP) relies on garnering a majority number of single member constituencies. Did This Happen Before? The last Boundary Redistricting exercise was conducted in 2002.

The communities affected included the villages of Independence and Placencia.
