VEC Results for 2015 Surf Coast Shire Council countback, Winchelsea 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填补时，地方议会将进行补选计票（countbacks）。在补选计票中，上一次选举中即将离任的议员所获选票，将根据选民的偏好重新分配给未当选的候选人。每次补选计票都会生成一份关于这些偏好分配情况的报告。
