Calculation of turnout and vote percentage in multi seat wards[edit]

The turnout in a ward where more than one candidate is to be elected is not the sum of the votes cast. As an example in Diss Ward there were 9368 votes cast but only 3681 voters cast a valid vote. The denominator in the percentage of votes cast column should therefore be 3681. Hence for instance, Mr Kiddie received 49.1% of the possible votes he could receive rather than the 19.3% quoted.

The details of the ballots issued and number of spoiled votes are available on the South Norfolk Council election results page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christ0h (talk • contribs) 15:15, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
