A note on Elections Missed-

As the Court ordered, the 25 citizens de-registered on Oct. 21 have been re-instated as having missed 2 elections.  Those voters on homelycooking's latest voter list showing 2 missed elections have been changed to 1 missed election.  Those with 0 or 1 missed elections remained the same.

Why the decreases?

A note on Elections Missed-

Why the decreases?

Because Homely counted a referendum election held in September as a missed election, for those who did not vote in it.

But the Court did not hold that such elections do not count as federal elections. Or is your interpretation that such elections are 'special elections'?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Yes, that is my interpretation, and I believe it is consistent with the court's ruling.

I'd agree it's the correct interpretation and one that makes sense looking at the legislative history, but I think the Court intentionally left that out of its holding to allow the legislature to clarify the issue (or the RG).

When I was RG, I refused to recognize voter registrations in Canada because of this:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

In my interpretation, Canadian provinces are not "states".

I misunderstood your answer, when I asked the question some months ago.  In my view, "states" can be interpreted to also include provinces and territories.  We do, after all, permit registration in DC, which is not a state.

Fine. You're the boss now.

Well the prior rule was inconsistently applied. The argument against Canadian province registration doesn't make sense when DC registrations were counted as valid.
