The MMP simulator cannot be run on any general election in this jurisdiction.
“Acc?” stands for missing data (namely races entered as having been won by acclamation when in fact the results are unknown), while “Minis.” shows the number of ministerial by-elections.
The results for a few by-elections are missing for this jurisdiction.
