VEC Results for 2014 Bayside City Council countback, Central Ward

Countbacks occur for local councils when a casual vacancy is to be filled in a multi-councillor ward or unsubdivided municipality. In a countback, votes for the vacating councillor from the last election are redistributed to unsuccessful candidates according to the voters' preferences. For each countback a report is generated for the distribution of these preferences

当多议员选区或未分区自治市出现临时空缺需要填补时，地方议会会进行回溯计票（countback）。在回溯计票中，上一次选举中离职议员所获的选票会根据选民的偏好重新分配给未当选候选人。每次回溯计票都会生成一份关于这些偏好分配情况的报告。
