Dear Capital and Coast District Health Board,

I see you have a results summary for the recent DHB election online [1]. I couldn't find an STV iteration report 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 Stacy,

Thanks very much for making that available, and so quickly!

A minor quibble that Microsoft Word documents aren't an ideal format for releasing data (at the very least, it's a proprietary format). I don't have Microsoft Word, but do have some software that should be able to read it for me.

In future I can highly the NZGOAL Guidance Notes for advice on formats for release.
