Referendum stats

The breakdown by the 70 electorates is interesting. The turnout by group was:

• Below 30% – five electorates
• 30% to 35% – five electorates
• 35% to 40% – seven electorates
• 40% to 45% – 14 electorates
• 45% to 50% – 30 electorates
• Over 50% – nine electorates

In terms of the no vote, the breakdown was:

• Below 50% – two electorates
• 50% to 60% – 11 electorates
• 60% to 70% – 29 electorates
• 70% to 80% – 19 electorates
• 80% to 90% – 3 electorates
• Over 90% – 7 electorates (Maori seats)

In terms of overall stats:

• Not Vote 56.10%
• Vote No 29.48%
• Vote Yes 14.25%
• Informal Vote 0.13%
• Invalid Vote 0.03%

And comparing the results (the desired percentage voting with them) the petitioners got with previous CIRS:

1. Reform of justice system 91.8%
2. Firefighters 87.8%
3. Anti-smacking law 87.4%
4. Size of Parliament 81.5%
5.  Asset Sales 67.2%

So it is the closest result of any CIR. No other CIR was below 80% and this was below 70%.
