Percentage vote share by Labour (3364) Metric type
- Help text
- This metric is the percentage of the vote share won by Labour candidates at the local council elections. It is calculated based on the total number of votes received divided by the total number of ballots reported for the wards holding elections and is expressed as a percentage.
Local councillors are elected for 4-year terms by the local community, at the end of this term elections are held for the relevant wards. The election cycle varies for different councils, some councils elect all of their councillors at the same time (once every four years), other councils elect half or a third of their councillors at each election. Therefore this should be kept in mind when comparing the figures for different councils.
