The Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon District
Council comprises the whole of the old Armagh City, Craigavon
Borough, and Banbridge District Councils. It excludes part of the
old Ballyward ward in Banbridge, which became part of Newry,
Mourne and Down District, while the Charlemont ward corner of
Dungannon became part of this district.
In the 2019 election, the DUP increased its share of
the vote and remained the largest party but lost two seats.
Despite this being their best performance anywhere in terms of
vote share, the UUP also lost two seats, reducing its total to
ten. Similar to elsewhere, the main beneficiary was Alliance who
gained three seats and representation on the council for the first
time. Sinn Fein also added two new seats, bringing their tally to
ten.

Electorate:

Mercer (UUP) was just 40.4 votes behind Tim McCelland (DUP) for
the last seat, with an Alliance surplus of 14.98 undistributed,
which may have reduced the difference slightly.

valid votes 8,381; quota 1,397.
Hamilton (Alliance) was 145.20 votes behind Gamble (DUP) for the
last seat, with UUP surpluses of 54 and 88 undistributed, which
would have increased the difference.
Irish
Observer projected 2 DUP, 2 UUP, 1 SF, and Faha
projected 3 DUP, 2 UUP which was the actual result. The
combined Nationalist vote here was rather less than half a
quota.

Electorate: 18,496; votes cast: 11,569 (62.5%); invalid votes: 112 (1.0%); valid votes: 11,457; quota: 1,910.
In what was one
of the closest results of the election, Dougan (DUP) was just
a mere 1.84 votes behind Kennedy (UUP) for the last seat.
Dougan had been ahead of Kennedy from Stage 2 but the
distribution of Speers (UUP) surplus at Stage 7 edged it for
his running mate. Also of note, Cusher had the highest quota
(1,910) across all 80 Electoral Areas in Northern Ireland.

McClelland
(DUP) was 351.42 votes behind Wilson (also
DUP) for the last seat, with surpluses of 200 (SDLP) and 63

Hamilton
(SDLP) was 247.32 votes behind Doyle (also SDLP) for the
last seat, with a DUP surplus of 125 undistributed which
would have made little difference.

O'Connor
(SF) was 243.88 votes behind Lennon (also SF) for the last
seat, with an SDLP surplus of 4.52 votes undistributed,
which would have made little difference.
Irish
Observer and Faha
both projected 2 SF, 1 DUP, 1 UUP, 1 SDLP.
In fact there were three clear Unionist quotas, with
Nationalists (including Corr) collectively more than 700 votes
behind.

McWilliams
(DUP) was 171.31 votes behind Sorcha McGeown (SF) for the
last seat with undistributed supluses of 89.32 (SF) and 18
(UUP), which would have likely widened the gap. Impressive
performance by McGeown who had finished second last in terms
of first preference votes but steadily picked up transfers
at each subsequent stage.

McGeown
(SF) was 9.14 votes behind Seeley (also SF) for the last
seat, with the difference between then coming from a
Unionist surplus - McGeown had polled fewer first
preferences than Seeley, but was ahead of her for most of
the count.
Irish

Nicholson (UUP) was 104.4 ahead of Donnelly (DUP). The
two Unionist candidates were well balanced but even with
1.8 quotas, there were simply not enough transfers for a
second seat.

last seat, with another SDLP surplus of 74
undistributed, which would have widened the final
margin.
