Northern Ireland Assembly 2016

"In general terms, turnout in eastern constituencies has increased compared to 2011, but dropped in western constituencies"

is this meaningful at all in terms of the religious split

edit: oh hey here's a turnout chart

[Bacon King]

Their official community designation is "other"

[Bacon King]

East Antrim: 2 DUP and 1 UUP elected so far.  An Alliance candidate is about to be eliminated, and transfers should then elect the other Alliance candidate; after that it's between SF, UKIP, DUP3 and UUP2 for two seats.

the last three seats were Alliance, DUP3, SF; the UKIP candidate was only 105 votes behind in the last round

Your guess was correct!

Unionist transfers not only got the SDLP candidate elected, they got him elected ahead of the second SF candidate

still just 2 DUP, 1 UUP so far. In the current round of the count, I think UUP2 is about to be elected on transfers from the other UUP candidate, who was just eliminated. After that it looks like the SDLP will probably get in, but 2 SF is still possible

[Bacon King]

so that means the final results will be

DUP 38
SF 27 or 28
UUP 16
SDLP 12 or 13
APNI 8
Green 2
PBPA 2
TUV 1
indy 1

will UUP and SDLP jointly be the official opposition or is it just UUP because they're the bigger party?
