Election STV Iteration Report
David Friggens made this Official Information request to Hutt District Health Board
The request was successful.
From: David Friggens
Dear Hutt Valley 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 on the website though. Could you please make that available to me, by return email (if quicker) and/or through your website. Specifically, the information I would like in the report is the quota, non-transferable votes and each candidate's votes, for every iteration of the count.
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 or RTF as most STV councils (like Palmerston North [3]) have done.
Yours faithfully,
David Friggens

Kia ora Steff,
Thank you for the response. Turning the file into an image with a watermark makes it much harder to extract and use the data. Would it please be possible to send me the original file?

Hi David,
No sorry we cannot send without the watermark stamp.
Thanks

Kia ora Steff,
That's a disappointing response. I'm planning on analysing the numerical data, and as it stands would have to retype everything myself. Given that you have the original file that seems - from my perspective - somewhat perverse.
Could you please elaborate on the reasons that are preventing you from doing so? I am assuming they are not legal restrictions, as none of the other DHBs and councils I have requested the data from have done this. (Note that I have only requested it from those who had not proactively published it on their websites as part of the election results.)

Hi David
My apologies for the incorrect name being inserted on the letter.
It is internal policy that anything which is released under the Official Information Act is done so with the watermark. I have looked at the file received from the Electoral Officer, and it is unfortunately not in one of the file formats you have specified in your request.
I have spoken directly with our Electoral Officer who will arrange for the information to be sent to you. I have cc'd him into this email.
Many thanks
