It is thereforepossible for the total numberof votes cast in any plebiscite districtto exceed the numberof names on the officiallist of voters. Similarly.the column headed '"Total vote as percentageof voters on the list" may include eligible voters who were swornin at the polls; this column should thereforebe used only as a rough guide to voter turnout.
