Countback · 173rd Senatorial Election

Emilia’s seat

A vacancy filled from the ballots already cast. Nobody voted again: the original ballots were re-read with the sitting members taken out, and the seat went to whoever the electorate had the most support left for.

This is not part of the 173rd Senatorial Election result. That election stands as it was announced — see the count. This page records only what happened to one seat afterwards.


The countback, round by round 0 rounds

The weight that bought the vacated seat is refunded to the ballots that spent it — the seat has been handed back, so the payment is returned. Weight spent on every other seat stays spent, which is what keeps the rest of the chamber proportional. The bar then walks down from 5 as usual.

This paper has not reproduced this count. The figures below are the Electoral Commission's own; where we have been able to recount a countback ourselves, the round-by-round working appears here instead.
