Tables needed and stuff[edit]

Can someone please do the tables here; I spent a few hours working the data out from Elections BC and calculating the turnout myself (votes + rejected ballots/total registered voters); but please check the math (not sure about which voters list is used sometimes; there's voters list the same year as some elections, but these may have been compiled after the election in some cases). Geographic description is basic, census information forthcoming; poll breakdown I just can't find. Requested maps on map-request page but riding boundaries may change over period of its existence (certainly did, in fact); but Elections BC doesn't have the same online descriptions that Elections Canada online does. And I'm just no good with Wikitables; if there's a way to do them easily please point me in the right direction, or if you're so inclined take the data that's here and table-ize it.

There were some irregularities in voting and the like in this district which are part of its electoral history; writeups later tonight (maybe); at least one election was overturned because of balloting irregularities. Notes on population fluctuations to be written later; NB although Chinese were banned from voting in BC in the 1871 election Lillooet's Chinese merchants voted, and were solicited for their votes by candidates nonetheless.Skookum1 04:12, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Note on party colours used in non-party period[edit]

Please note party colors to be used to 1900 shown are borrowed from modern parties; there were no provincial parties in BC until the 1903 election; "Reform" is the Reform Caucus or Reform slate, "Government" or "Opposition" indicates the member's leanings/sitting. I also improvised current-party colours for 20th Century parties no longer extant such as the Soldier-Farmer Party, the Non-Partisan Investment Group, and George Murray's Progressive Liberal flop/startup. There's probably a colour for the Liberal-Conservative Coalition but I didn't know the abbree for the colour line; and also for the Social Credit Party of BC's predecessor the Social Credit Alliance (OK, OK, there was the BC Social Credit League, too...)

Didn't know what to do with preferential ballot years[edit]

Can someone more familiar with templates fix these two elections?Skookum1 19:38, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
