Declaration of the regional result

Having completed all of the required processes for the calculation and allocation of seats, you must make a declaration stating which political parties and individual regional candidates have been allocated seats.1

In the case of political parties, you must also give the name of the party list candidate who will fill each seat. As soon as practicable, following the declaration you must also provide public notice as to the result of the election.

You must give public notice that includes the following information:

  • the name of any individual candidate elected
  • the name of any candidate elected who was included on a party’s list together with the name of the candidate’s party
  • the total number of votes given for each individual candidate or party
  • the number of rejected ballot papers under each head as shown in the statement of rejected ballot papers
  • in the case of a party, the names of any candidates remaining on the party’s list who have not been declared elected

For more information see our guidance on declaring the results.
