About these figures

Notes on the IEC's figures for this page

Votes cast 735 · spoilt 10 · special votes 47 · 1 of 2 voting districts in (the IEC's voting-district results so far, out of its list of voting districts for this election)

Turnout is calculated as PR ballots cast ÷ registered voters, from the IEC's results for the 1 voting district with results so far here (740 of 1 439). The IEC publishes 51.4%.

The change beside the headline is the difference between the leading party's share here and its share in the 2016 election for the same ward (the ward that covered the same area then), both from the IEC's counts, with no votes re-allocated between boundaries.
