Voter Satisfaction
This chart shows how many voters had one of their top choices elected: how many had their first choice elected; how many had their second choice elected, but not their first; and so on.
| #1 choice elected | 54.5% | (183.0) | |
| #2 choice elected | 25.6% | (86.0) | |
| #3 choice elected | 10.4% | (35.0) | |
| #4 choice elected | 3.9% | (13.0) | |
| No choices elected | 3.6% | (12.0) | |
| #5 choice elected | 2.1% | (7.0) |
So 54.0% of the voters had their first choice elected, 80.0% one of their first two choices, 90.0% one of their first three choices, and 94.0% one of their first four choices.
This is different from Ballot Representation below because a voter can have their second choice elected, for example, even though their ballot went to elect their third or fourth choice during the count.
