Figure 1: Proportion of Demeny Eligible <strong>Voter</strong>s in each Age GroupFigure 1 shows proportion of voters that are Demeny Eligible, i.e., has at least one childunder 19, in each age group. The distribution is almost symmetric around average age41. The average number of proxy votes, one for each child under 19, Demeny Eligiblevoters have is shown in Figure 2. It is equivalent to the average number of childrenunder 19 among Demeny Eligible voters.Figure 2: Mean proxy votes by Age Group (for those who are Demeny Eligible)5
