[3] "Bucheon-si" "Yeoju-si" - From the third column, number of votes for each candidate is given. Column names denote the name of the candidate, followed by the name of the party in the parenthesis. Note that the last name comes before the first name.
- Last two columns are the invalid and blank vote counts.
- Number of blank ballots refers to the number of voters who did not vote, even though they have voting rights.
- e.g. those who did not come to the polling station — blank ballot count
- e.g. those who came to the polling station but did not put their ballot to the box, for some reason — blank ballot count
- Thus, sum of each row indicates number of people who have voting rights in that cluster. It would be preferable to delete the last column, or last two columns for analysis.
