Election History
CompetitiveScore: 61/100→ Stable
Won by 86 votes (5.2%)2.6% swing needed to unseat
Sally Harrison was elected with 584 votes, a majority of 86 votes (5.2%) over Labour’s Deb Reeve, in a turnout of 33.35% and four candidates. A swing of roughly 2.6% of the total vote—equivalent to about 150 votes—would be required for the runner‑up to overtake her, and her vulnerability score of 61/100 places the seat in the “competitive” range. The narrow margin and modest turnout suggest that small shifts in voter preferences could affect the next contest.
