General elections results

RFI-2023-1216
Tuesday, 31 October 2023

Request

A request for polling district or ward-level election results for any general elections for which they can be tabulated. I am agnostic about whether these results include postal votes or not, and in fact I believe the latter is necessary as postal votes probably cannot be assigned to any particular ward. I am also aware that some degree of vote-mixing is done at the polling district level.

Response

We can confirm that no breakdown by other electoral areas, can be provided for a Parliamentary election constituency result.
All verified postal votes and votes in person from polling stations included in the count are mixed and allocated to a team. Each team will reach a ‘mini-count’ total which is only used to balance a smaller number of total votes and the totals of each team is the result.
