Popley East

Popley East had two seats up for re-election due to a vacancy. Thus, unlike the other wards, it elected councillors with plurality at-large voting rather than first past the post. If the top candidate method is used to gauge the number of votes for party (i.e. assuming the number of votes in support of a party is equal to the number of votes for its most popular candidate) instead of the raw vote, then the party's vote shares are: Labour 72.3%, Conservatives 16.2% and Liberal Democrats 11.4%.
