Patterns in election data

There were 13,118 registered voters at the election held in May this year. 10,005 of them voted, or 76%.

Give students the raw data and they may discover several patterns.

This is what I found:

1. A candidate who got more than 32.7% of the registered voters' vote was elected to the Legislative Assembly regardless of district.

2. A candidate who got more than 42% of the votes cast was elected to the Legislative Assembly regardless of district.

The big winner, in my mind, was Anthony Eden. 75% of those who voted in Bodden Town voted for him.

Here is my spreadsheet file. Strip it for columns E and F before you give it to students.
