The MMP simulator can be run on all the general elections 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.

A small handful of by-elections that did not really occur was added to this database to record when someone’s election was overturned and the seat was handed over to the challenger who had lost.

Up until the middle of the 20th century, unseating a member was commonplace and the mechanism to challenge someone’s election seems to have been very lax when viewed through presentist lens, as many by-elections were held merely because the challenger — often the government or the defeated incumbent — did not like the result. What’s more, newly appointed ministers had to resign and run in a ministerial by-election. Therefore, by-elections were far more frequent than they are today.

Lost votes are defined as being “Votes that did not contribute to a party winning at least one seat, plus the votes for a ban­ner (or non-party) like Inde­pend­ent that did not yield a seat.” Un­per­form­ing votes are those that did not contribue to winning a seat, while those that did are deemed performing. Because the vote efficiency of each party can vary by region, the sum of the lost votes from each region only adds up if the party has won no seat (in which case “lost” and “unperforming” are equal), while the sum of the performing or unperforming votes from each region always adds up.

Performing, unperforming and lost votes, by party and region

To better understand the significance of this analysis, please refer to this article. However, this is a case where the number of lost votes is the same in the summary and the detailed analysis. It would certainly be interesting to see in the MMP simulator how the outcome of this election might have been different with a proportional voting system.

How to interpret these percentages
 Can. %: Percentage of persons of that gender identity for this party.
↳ Ex.: 60 candidacies (30 M, 28 F, 2 X)
Can. % (M) = 100 * (30 / 60) = 50.00%
Can. % (F) = 100 * (28 / 60) = 46.67%
Can. % (X) = 100 * ( 2 / 60) =  3.33%
✓ %: Percentage of persons of that party and that gender identity who managed to get elected.
↳ Ex.: Number of persons elected = 19 (8 M, 10 F, 1 X)
✓ % (M) = 100 * ( 8 / 30) = 26.67%
✓ % (F) = 100 * (10 / 28) = 35.71%
✓ % (X) = 100 * ( 1 /  2) = 50.00%
Leg. %: Percentage of caucus members of that party by gender identity.
↳ Ex.: Number of persons elected = 19 (8 M, 10 F, 1 X)
Leg. % (M) = 100 * ( 8 / 19) = 42.11%
Leg. % (F) = 100 * (10 / 19) = 52.63%
Leg. % (X) = 100 * ( 1 / 19) =  5.26%
