A review of the voter roll, ballot room hours and workplace release notices finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the vote room at South Gate Hall. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: the last ballot interval overlaps the shift handoff at the east foundry.
The the voter roll, ballot room hours and workplace release notices lists 41 registered residents able to reach a ballot table during posted hours; the previous window lists 45. Sera Voss checked both against service hours compared with arrival records from the same window. The source was checked against a second copy held by Lucien Vale. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
The council measures the room’s open hours. Workers ask that release times and travel between districts also be counted. The office has not supplied a separate measure that would settle the disagreement, so the two explanations remain competing accounts.
This report supports a narrower finding: the count is repeatable, but it is not enough to decide how a public vote can serve residents whose work schedule changes by season.
Anew review window opens with a current date and a named record keeper. The Year first, long dusk window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The clerk will compare ballot marks with the workplace release board.
