Dear Auckland Council,

I see you have a results summary for the recent Auckland, Counties Manukau and Waitemata DHB elections online [1]. I couldn't find an STV iteration report on the website though. Could you please make that available to me, by return email (if quicker) and/or through your website.

If different formats are available, I personally would prefer a machine-readable format - XML (like Kapiti Coast [2]) or CSV - but if publishing on the website it would be useful also to have a human-readable PDF as most STV councils (like Palmerston North [3]) have done.

Yours faithfully,
David Friggens

Kia ora Grace,

At the bottom of the page I linked are three tables that list each candidate along with the quota, votes and iteration when they were elected or excluded.

What I am after is an "iteration report" or "commentary" that gives - for every iteration - the quota, non-transferable votes and votes for each candidate. Unless I have missed something, this information does not appear to be on, or linked from, this page.

Yours sincerely,
David Friggens

Kia Dale,

These are brilliant! Thanks - and especially for providing in XML.
