[5] [6][7] [8] The account of U.S. historian Oliver Henry Radkey (shown in the table above) is missing the votes from 4 uezds, representing some 25% of the electorate the Arkhangelsk electoral district.

[4] The account of Soviet historian L. M. Spirin differs somewhat from the account presented by Radkey; Spirin assigns 106,570 votes for the SRs, 36,522 votes for the Bolsheviks, includes 5,032 "unaccounted votes" but his figures for the remaining 3 parties are identical with Radkey's totals.
