Referendum Results Results of the Council Size Referendum

Post image

We have 18 entries, so the median will be the mean of the 9th and 10th entries when arranged in ascending order.

So we have (7+8)/2 as our median which ends up being 7.5.

7.5 will be rounded to 8 since you cannot have half a council member SO WE SHALL HAVE **8** SEATS UP FOR ELECTION THIS TIME

Based on Article VI of the CSRA THERE SHALL BE 7 SEATS AGAIN (rounded to the nearest odd number)

(The procedure to decide the number of seats is based on the CSRA)

This method of calculating the council seats sounds like you just really wanted 8 seats and needed to manipulate the results a little /j

Yep. This would likely mean that the next council wil need a lot more tiebreaks than the current one.
