VEC Results for 2014 Maroondah City Council countback, Mullum Ward

Countbacks occur for local councils when a casual vacancy is to be filled in a multi-councillor ward or unsubdivided municipality. In a countback, votes for the vacating councillor from the last election are redistributed to unsuccessful candidates according to the voters' preferences. For each countback a report is generated for the distribution of these preferences当多席位选区（multi-councillor ward）或未分区自治市（unsubdivided municipality）出现临时席位空缺（casual vacancy）且需进行补选时，地方议会将启动回溯计票（countback）程序。在该回溯计票程序中，上次选举中投给离任议员的选票，将依据选民的偏好顺位重新分配给未当选候选人。针对每一次回溯计票，均会生成一份关于上述偏好选票分配情况的报告。
