These are stored figures from the IEC public results file, not a live tick. Share is ward votes plus PR votes, divided by the IEC valid-vote total (ValidVotesCast). Ward and PR stay in their own columns. The district-council 40% ballot is not part of this share.

Places

Ward plus PR. The longest bar is 1st place. The others are drawn against that total.

The 2026 file includes IEC fields for 2000, 2006 and 2011 where the Commission published them. 2016 and 2021 are not on this record. A difference is not shown: this desk has not verified that those fields use the same ballot and the same boundaries as the 2026 ward+PR share.
