Twitter - working out where the mayor votes went
Twitter:
So a funny thing happened in the mayoral poll Dunedin. It seems like 28% of people didn't want *either* Hawkins or Vandervis, and ranked neither. (I need to check this). But at Iteration 1, there were 42000 votes, and only 30000 at the end.

Wonder if that’s a lack of understanding of STV. Only 1 position so only rank 1.
Possible. Would be worth checking against other cities. I'm off to bed, so can't verify now. It's also perhaps obvious here, because there were neck and neck for so long. I get the impression other cities may have had an outright winner sooner.
But I'm pretty confident there is an ABV camp, an ABH camp, but also possibly a bunch of people that like neither?
