I'm a bit confused as to the figures quoted for votes etc in some of the older elections. In former times (before 1900 for sure) a large number of seats would have been uncontested. Rremember that a borough/county might return up to three members and as I understand it, from what I have read, if there were more than the requisite number of persons nominated to stand, and often there would be no additional challengers, a show of hands would first be taken, and a result declared on that basis. If one of the nominated persons objected to the result, a poll result and votes counted. How is the vote for these constituencies managed in say the United_Kingdom_general_election%2C_1895 page? Is the vote for the entire electorate placedinto the pot for the winning party or are they left out entirey.
