You can see the sampling results in the newly created dataset. Five new variables were saved to the working file, representing the inclusion probabilities and cumulative sampling weights for each stage, plus the final sampling weights. Voters who were not selected to the sample are excluded from this dataset.

The final sampling weights are identical for voters within the same neighborhood because they are selected according to a simple random sampling method within neighborhoods. However, they are different across neighborhoods within the same township because the sampled proportions are not exactly 20% in all neighborhoods.
