2013 Bulgarian referendum on nuclear energy

[Tender Branson]

This requirement for the referendum to be valid only if turnout reaches the level of the last parliamentary election is crazy.

I find that funny:

How are there 6.9 million eligible voters when Bulgaria barely has 7 million people alltogether ?

Are there like 1 million Bulgarians abroad also included ?

Austria for example has 8.5 million people, but only 6.4 million eligible voters ...

No, of course there are not 6.9 million eligible voters. The real number is about 6.1 million (out of about 7.3 total). The problem is that people are not taken off the election rolls unless they have informed the Bulgarian authorities that they are not going to live in the country anymore. Of course almost no one does anything like that, so nearly all people who left since 1989 are still considered eligible to vote in Bulgaria. Even those Turks who left back in 1989 during the Big Excursion are on the rolls. Even worse, not all dead people are removed from the rolls, because if they are to be believed, Bulgaria would have more super-centenarians than the rest of the world taken together.

So, why did they hold a Census in 2011 ? They could have cleaned up the voter rolls as well with the new data ...

BTW, how do you create those Atlas-like maps with scales and Atlas colours ?

And is there one for Austria as well ?

The Atlas colors are easy - you simply copy the Atlas Master Key.
Regarding the maps, you'll probably can find them on the Internet.

And how do I get the color shades ?

These are the original color shades. I left out a few intermediate ones to provide better contrast.

Ok, but how do I get the exact colors in Paint like on the Atlas and how do you put the "master key" into the map ?

Or do I need a different program for making those maps ?

Copy the Master Key image into Paint, then use "pick color" to copy colors. You can copy parts or whole of the Master Key with the "select" tool.
Of course you can use another program, but Paint should be sufficient for this kind of maps.

Thx. But are you sure this works with Windows Vista Paint ? I can only choose "define color" and then I have put in some values or "guess" the shade of the color in the master key ...
