Electorate and turnout
If the electorate was ~1,430,000 and the votes cast were 641,000-odd, then the turnout was 44% not 62%. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for the political class.78.19.220.3 (talk) 12:07, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * It's not that simple. Turnout is calculated using the number of voters who were able to cast a vote – i.e. without including registered voters who were in uncontested constituencies and not able to participate. Number   5  7  12:17, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you, it's not (yet) clear how many seats were uncontested. More exact to say that 44% of the electorate had a chance to vote and took it.78.16.100.92 (talk) 13:18, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Do we not know what the 'Total Electorate' numbers werefor all those contested constituencies? I am interested in knowing whether'abstentionism' played a seminal role in the resuts? For instance were anti-treaty people likely to stay at home more so than those who recognised the Free State? Ériugena (talk) 17:42, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
