Final election results announced today have confirmed there will be no changes to the Council table from the preliminary results.
The final count shows Sir Tim Shadbolt secured 9,672 votes, while top-polling Council candidate Nobby Clark received 10,802 votes.
Council Deputy Electoral Officer Michael Morris said final figures showed voter turnout was 53.01 per cent, slightly lower than at the last election, when returns were 54.9 per cent.
“Invercargill’s returns are typically slightly higher than the national average, and this is reflected again in these results,” Mr Morris said.
