VEC Results for 2015 Stonnington City Council countback, East 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市镇出现临时空缺（casual vacancy）需补选时，地方议会将启动点票重算（countback）流程。在该流程中，上届选举中投给离任议员的选票，将按照选民的偏好顺位重新分配给落选候选人。针对每一次点票重算，系统均会生成一份涵盖上述偏好分配详情的报告。
