Notes:
• The "Candidates per Seat" line refers only to Clean
candidates. It doesn't include privately funded
candidates.
• That Candidate number should be kept fairly generous, as it
will need to cover funding for lifting the expenditure ceilings should
a privately funded candidate significantly exceed the amount
allocated for Clean candidates. |
