In a multi-member contest a voter can cast more than one candidate vote. Do not use the sum of candidate votes as turnout. A blank vote figure can indicate an uncontested election or missing source data.
Check the council by-election directory. The absence of an upcoming contest here does not confirm that no election is due.
