Whittlesea City Council election
Counting the votes
In local council elections, we can't guarantee exactly when results will be available. This is because each election is slightly different. The things that can affect the counting timeline include:
- the number of vacancies
- if it is counted by hand or by computer
- how many people are enrolled in the council
- how many candidates there are in each ward.
We've given the earliest possible results date for this council in the 'important dates' section of this page. Provisional results for all councils will be published on this website between 6 and 12 November.
