With 97 votes at a 47% turnout, Socio nets itself a -8% underrepresentation, particularly significant for a department of its size. It now stands only second to Philo as the department with the lowest turnout.
With a +23% lean for SALiGAN and a -27% aversion to BUKLOD, Socio stands as perhaps the most polarized department. The extreme political lean in the Department lead to a landslide loss for all of BUKLOD’s candidates and overwhelmingly dominant wins in the Department for SALiGAN.
BUKLOD, unable to net even 10% of the vote for any of its candidates, was handily beaten by SALiGAN as well as abstentions across the board.
SALiGAN’s candidates earn majority wins across the entire Department, with Patawaran, Gaspar, and Escototo all netting supermajority votes in their respective positions. Patawaran nets the highest proportional win of any Standard Bearer in any department, while Gaspar nets the same across the Councilors.
SALiGAN’s dominance in this Department appears uncontested and trends indicate even more intensified support for the red party in the next election (+34%), however with a decreased aversion for BUKLOD (-23%).
