<div dir="ltr">Hi<div><br></div><div>If anyone is interested, I took Franks school district dataset and the LGE2011 dataset from [1] and made an atlas (using new goodies coming in QGIS 2.0) which shows voter participation by school district. The thesis being it would be interesting to see how voter participation looks in the contect of education districts. You can download the pdf I produced here: [2]</div>
<div><br></div><div>I used the Wards dataset from [3] and merged (via a table join) a summary of the electorial data per ward which I prepared using a bash script I wrote (available here [4]). The script is really rough - just a work log of what I did to extract useful info out of it....your mileage may vary....<br>
