So we have another prediction competition, the prize is a retweet from our twitter account which has now smashed through 5,000 followers.
All you need to do is predict the winner and what % share of the vote they win with.
so a entry would be for instance
*** as it was so kindly pointed out, the percentage is based on the 1st preference votes ***
Labour - 42.16%
So firstly only entries with the correct winning candidate will have a chance of winning. It is then whoever is closest to their vote share which will win, I do suggest going to 2 decimal places.
Also please leave a twitter account with your entry or log in via blog account and we will re tweet your blog or twitter account.
Our decision is final on who we will or not retweet.
All entries to be left in the comment section please.
If you want help with the form guide read the post below.

ReplyDeleteThe PCCs are elected using a 1st and 2nd preference system (the same as for the London Mayor). If none of the four candidates get 50% of 1st preference votes, 2nd preferences have to be transferred. If your example prediction was correct and Labour top the poll of first preferences with 42.16% with UKIP 2nd say, UKIP could still be the winner once 2nd preferences from Conservative and English Democrat voters were transferred. Is the competition predicting who will top the 1st preferences?
ReplyDeleteIt is the vote share from the 1st preference votes, thanks for reply
ReplyDeleteLabour 38.83% @Paul_J_Chapman but UKIP to win after second preferences.
