Note: Council uses the STV (single-transferable vote) electoral system. The number of vacancies and votes determines the quota a candidate must reach to be elected. The formula for deciding the quota is based on the total number of valid votes, divided by the number of vacancies plus one. Because of this, the iteration report which details the data behind results will be released with preliminary results tomorrow evening.
