Dear Tairawhiti 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 Katherine,

Thanks for your reply. As you imply, this is not the information I asked for.

Could you please request the file from the electoral officer, or forward my request? FYI strips email addresses from correspondance for privacy, but it would also meet the spirit of the duty of "reasonable assistance" required by Section 13 of the OIA.

Ngā mihi

Fantastic, thanks Katherine - that is exactly what I was after.
