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地方议会在填补多席位选区（multi-councillor ward）或未分区自治市（unsubdivided municipality）的临时席位空缺（casual vacancy）时，需启动递补计票程序（countback）。在该程序中，上一轮选举中投给离任议员的选票，将按照选民偏好重新分配给未当选候选人。针对每一次递补计票，均会生成一份记录上述偏好分配情况的报告。
