Hi team
 
See below – we have an enquiry from the Herald’s data journalist about a voting place result in the xml feed – are we able to look into this please? They have asked
for a response by 6pm, I said I wasn’t sure we could get back to them by then.
 
Thank you,
 
Clare

Kia ora,
 
I have been looking at polling place results in the xml feed and have noticed a surprising result. At the polling place located at Pukekohe intermediate in the Port
Waikato electorate the largest number of party votes (505) were cast for the Leighton Baker Party, followed by Labour (297), and there are no votes reported for the
National party.
 
The xml file is this one https //electionresults.govt.nz/electionresults 2023/xml/e39/votingplaces/39-39034.xml
 
Can you confirm if this is correct? If it isn't correct is this an error in the xml files or is it an error elsewhere?
 
We would like to file a story on this today so if it possible to reply by 6pm that would be great. 
 
Ngā mihi,
