Winning Method Displayed

Whole District

Results for a top-level district such as a municipality—includes a percentage for each option

Partial District

Results for a sub-district such as a ward—does not include a percentage for each option

Complete Results

Results for a district when all of its sub-districts have reported in—includes an indication of the winners (which is different than Winning Method Displayed) assuming it is the top-level district (see Whole District)

Incomplete Results

Results for a district when not all of its sub-districts have reported in yet—winners are not indicated under this scenario

Winning Method Not Displayed

See Winning Method Displayed

Winning Method Displayed
