I note in Andrew's preview that the 2007 result was actually a tie, and was only won on the toss of a coin. So why is it listed as being one by one vote (782-781)? Is the toss of a coin somehow considered to be a vote? |

The winner of the drawing of lots receives an extra vote (the Returning Officer's casting vote) and is therefore elected with a majority of one.

Worst by-election week ever... Just on a point of fact, we have had a few weeks with no principal-level elections at all - and quite likely will again in the run up to May 22. |

I don't think tonight's result will take that long to count, tbf - unless it is a photo-finish of course  |

I think in each case the ward has just voted for the most local candidate, it's one of those sort of places. William Parry lived, I believe, in Gainsborough itself so not strictly true. Certainly the Conservative defeats in December were due in a large part to the selection on non local candidates. |
