Multi-member ward results

Hi, In your recent edits to local election pages, particularly 2017 Suffolk County Council election, you changed the percentages in multi-member wards with the total for each ward exceeding 100%. Can you please explain your changes as they seeming do not follow any normal convention.

Hi, These percentages were the percentage of valid votes won by each candidates, which is a common way of looking at multi-member wards. For instance, if 1000 valid votes were cast, then the result could look something like this: Party A 1 - 600 Party A 2 - 450 Party B 1 - 425 Party B 2 - 350

You could then do the percentage in three ways: by 'top vote' - 600 (58.5%) + 425 (41.5%) - by 'total / average vote' - 1050 (57.5%) + 775 (42.5%) - or by the way I have edited the page - giving the % of valid votes (1000) won by each candidate. This would give: Party A 1 - 600 (60%) Party A 2 - 450 (45%) Party B 1 - 425 (42.5%) Party B 2 - 350 (35%)

This approach can be more informative. For instance, in the above example we see that a 1.5% swing would give Party B the second seat, whereas using the 'top vote' or 'total / average vote' method does not show this.

Salford elections

Hey 81.105, I noticed you worked on the 2019 Salford council elections so just letting you know I've done a quick old job on creating 2021 Salford City Council election including mention of the boundary changes. doktorb _words^deeds 19:49, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
