NSW Council Election: Byron Booth Results.

Nothing much out of the ordinary with the booth results as far as I can tell. The weird thing is The Greens getting 2.99 quotas yet only electing 2 councillors, must have been a very tight preference exchange.

NSW Council Elections: Blue Mountains Booth Results

Next up we have the Blue Mountains booth results. First ward - we see a few booth wins for Labor and a few for The Greens with the Liberals winning most, second and 3third wards dominated by the Liberals with Labor dominating the fourth.

NSW Council Elections 2012: Blacktown Booth Results

In this post and ones to follow I'll be embedding the booth results from the recent NSW Council elections for selected councils, starting with Blacktown. See the tabs at the bottom for other wards. If you have any questions feel free to post a comment or ask me on twitter

2012 NSW Council Elections - candidates elected by council

Will be continually updated as more results come in

Payments made to parties after 2010 election.

This spreadsheet is in response to a post on Facebook about compulsory. I'm using it to show why the parties probably aren't to keen to get rid of compulsory voting while we have the current public funding model - to receive funding a candidate must receive at least 4% of the first preference vote (single electorate or senate race, not nation-wide) The amount paid per vote for the 2010 election was 231.191 cents.

Document dump

Been making a few political spreadheets lately, have decided to publish them all on this blog now to make them easier to link to. Stay tuned.

Booth Swings Collection.

I hope to eventually do booth swings for all 93 seats. This is time consuming due to manually having to enter the data for this election and the 2007 election. What's made it worse is the name change of some booths and the NSWEC site only having the booth name, not address, forcing me to try to find the booth in one of the 2007 Federal Election seats too see what the old name was. So I will do them when I can but being a full-time carer I don't always have the time.

Anyway here is the list of seats I've completed so far. .

Check back for updates. Latest seat will be in bold. Next seat will be named but not linked.
(Direct links to spreadsheet hostd by Google Docs as it's awkward to read on the read on the blog when I embed it)

NSW Election: Green exhaust rate and preference flows.

Below is a spreadsheet with Green voters exhaust rates and preference flows for seats where a Green candidate was knocked out before the winning candidate was elected. A lot of seats won by the Liberal Party were won on primary votes so the NSWEC has not provided full distribution of preference PDFs.
