You need just one in six votes to get a quota.
and in fact would get elected with one in ten, and possibly fewer first preferences
Valid poll plus 1 divided by number of seats plus 1. Electorate = 70% x 62 % in winter turn out.
Population 141,500 in 2016. Female 70,309, 49.7% (52,725 are voters)) and male Male 71,226 (50.3% of 70,309 = 53,500 male voters.
27.3 % of males and 25% of females are under 18..
Total voters 52,725 + 53,500 = 106,225 voters X by turnout say 61% = 62,797 less spoiled papers say 400 =
62,397 + 1 = 62,397 divided by 5 seats plus 1 = 6 . 62397/6 = 10,299 is quota. Feel free to comment. It would be better if I had an ordinary calculator but I only hav e the computer one.
The first plus 1 stops a tie with 6 seats equal.
