I note that Labour was elected before the Green redistribution. They didn't redistribute the SNP as well, because Labour had a majority of the original vote cast by then, and so the result doesn't look jarring, but it's the same principle as ever.

I think there should be a regulation to the effect that a candidate is elected when they have a majority of remaining votes in a single-seat contest. Though that would deprive of us the possibly interesting information that the Green vote split 257 SNP, 150 Labour & 96 non-transfers. There is a regulation saying that a candidate is elected when they're the only one left, but it's never been implemented by the computerised counting system. |

Although to be fair, he doesn't specify which May, and it was 500 votes last May - maybe he's just lost a year somewhere  |

I have trawled through the regulations and found it at Rule 55. Very good. But for some reason Rule 55 seems only to apply to manual counts. So you can do daft things, as long as they are buried in a computer program! And furthermore, those conducting the recent by-election in Moray, where there was a manual count, seem to have been blissfully unaware of Rule 55. |

strikingly good Tory performance & bad Labour performance in Oldham. Wonder what the issues were there Hannah Roberts herself referenced "toxicity" without giving any more detail. At a guess, there will have been suggestions of carpet bagging, as her previous political base was Royton, which is the other side of Oldham. Oldham is more cobbled-together than people realise, and the two places aren't particularly similar. Not to the same degree as Failsworth, but Hollinwood feels more "Manchester" than Royton does. andrewteale's excellent preview didn't mention that Hollinwood had its very own mummy at one point! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_Mummy |

Oldham was one of the most noticeable Labour underperformances last May, doing arguably worse than 2021. When a council has issues, by-elections can see some freakishly bad results for them.

Ballot Box Scotland @ballotboxscot · 8m Linn (Glasgow) by-election, first preferences: Labour: 2227 (43.4%, +11.4) SNP: 1702 (33.2%, -0.2) Green: 409 (8.0%, +1.9) Con: 327 (6.4%, -5.1) Lib Dem: 294 (5.7%, -0.6) Alba: 90 (1.8%, +0.5) SSP: 46 (0.9%, new) UKIP: 19 (0.4%, new) FA: 18 (0.4%, new) Good result for Labour although the very low turnout especially in Castlemilk probably hurt the SNP a lot more in addition to Con-Lab switching particularly in Carmunnock etc. Polling district data will be interesting. The proper electoral test for Scottish Labour however is really the Broxburn, Uphall and Winchburgh by election on 1 Dec where Labour was 12.3% behind the SNP in May which was also caused by a Labour incumbent death. That will be extremely interesting. Tories could be in a mess there with a former Tory councillor there who lost out in Linlithgow also standing as an independent. |

Do you know where this info can be found and for how long has Scotland being doing this, do you know? Was it done for this year's local elections? |

The Glasgow count could have been short-circuited by eliminating the four bottom candidates together at Stage Two, since the Alba Party candidate would not have survived, even if she received a transfer of every single vote of the the other three candidates.
This technique is sometimes used in Northern Ireland counts.
