Election History
VulnerableScore: 66/100→ Stable
Won by 200 votes (10.0%)5.0% swing needed to unseat
The councillor's majority of 200 votes (9.99%) is relatively narrow, and the margin narrowed by 20.4 percentage points from the previous election, requiring a swing of just 4.99% to unseat them. Turnout was low at 42.16%, and the presence of six candidates could further fragment the vote in future contests. These factors, combined with a vulnerability score of 66 out of 100, indicate the seat is electorally vulnerable.
