Dudley election results 2023
Dudley borough
- we stood candidates in 20 of the 24 wards up for grabs (though in St. Thomas’s 2 councillors were elected and we stood one candidate). This mean’s that 84% of voters had a green option and is a brilliant effort from all. Thank you!
- Overall (across the whole borough) our share of the vote was 6.5%
- We often beat the Lib Dems into 3rd. We came 3rd in 11 wards, 4th in 7 and 5th in 2. The share of the vote in each ward is shown below.
Norton (target ward)
Overall
- Our share of the vote in Norton was 17.2%.
- Looking back as far as 2006, we’ve only had a bigger share of the vote 4 times across the whole borough. These all came from Netherton, Woodside and St Andrews around the time we had Will Duckworth elected as a Councillor (see the table below). This is a really strong result!
| year | ward | candidate | votes | turnout | share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2011 | Netherton, Woodside and St Andrews | Will Duckworth | 1068 | 3798 | 28.1% |
| 2012 | Netherton, Woodside and St Andrews | Will Duckworth | 1525 | 3386 | 45.0% |
| 2014 | Netherton, Woodside and St Andrews | Bill McComish | 893 | 3548 | 25.2% |
| 2015 | Netherton, Woodside and St Andrews | Bill McComish | 1288 | 6076 | 21.2% |
A quick look at “swing” will hopefully get you really excited about the work we’ve done and the prospects for the future 😄.
In person vs postal
- We had a much higher share of the vote among voters who voted at polling stations on polling day than among postal voters (see plot below).
- much of this will be explained by the timing of our short campaign. We just didn’t have time to have a chance of seriously impacting the choice of postal voters and is something which should encourage us further for next year!
