Stations with fewer than 100 voters are left out: they are mostly hospitals and other special stations, where voters added on election day can push turnout above 100%.
High turnout is not proof of fraud: small, close-knit villages often do vote in large numbers. But a station that jumps from 90% to 60% when the government changes, or that reports more voters in 3 hours than it can register, deserves a closer look. Compare the 2015 villages.
