First Nation School Board Referendum: Official Results

Notes on Official Results Reporting

1. To protect the secrecy of the vote, the reported total votes cast at all locations (locally with the Referendum Officer, by mail, at Elections Yukon, or via secure drop box) is combined.
    
2. Rejected includes rejected certificate envelopes and rejected ballots.
   A certificate envelope may have been rejected if it was not fully completed. Ballots may have been rejected if they were improperly marked.
    
3. The Minister may combine the school council with the School Board if at least 50% plus 1 of the valid votes returned are a YES. A minimum of 3 votes is required. The formula for calculating the threshold is the number of valid votes multiplied by 50% plus 1 (rounded up). Examples:

    

   Valid votes	Calculation	YES votes required to meet threshold (rounded)
   1	= (1 x 50%) + 1 = 0.5 + 1 = 1.5	Threshold cannot be met
   7	= (7 x 50%) + 1 = 3.5 + 1 = 4.5	5 YES votes required
   50	= (50 x 50%) = 25 + 1 = 26	26 YES votes required
   100	= (100 x 50%) = 50 + 1 = 51	51 YES votes required
