Is there any way to find out this info online?

Oh I know they were just for counting purposes. It just would be interesting to see how the votes were spread over a particular town/city.

I would be interested to know as well. My city as a whole voted out, by a narrow margin. I live in an area with a huge amount of immigrants, and it is a pretty cohesive little community, on the whole. I would love to find out what our voting pattern was.

The Birmingham Mail has the figures by ward for that city. www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/eu-referendum-results-your-area-11536368. I can't see any mention in the story of how the paper got the figures. Did they ask the council (which was responsible for the counting)?

I saw, and promptly failed to bookmark, a site that showed what the result would look like if it were FPTP rather than straight up counting of votes.

Is that what you mean ? Because if so I will redouble efforts to find it again.

That sounds interesting, and worth a look if you find it, but no, it's straight up votes by ward I'm interested in.

Unless it also has that breakdown?

I don't know how the local votes were totalled - my mum was at the count here so I'll ask her. if they were counted by ward, then the Birmingham Mail maybe recorded the ward votes on the night? I'm pretty confident that votes by ward aren't publicly available in my area.

Yes I know all votes were equal but like OP I'd be interested to know how the different areas local to me voted.

Mum says that here, the total number of votes cast were counted by ward for verification, but the actual count was a town total. It may have been done differently in much bigger areas for accuracy, but not here sadly (or happily perhaps).

I'll keep poking, but I have a feeling that I am remembering this as a site, when in fact it was a tweet.

Sorry. Not much help.

I've found a couple of areas which have published results by ward in the local press. I'd be surprised if they weren't recorded during the count, even if they weren't published.

Were they bigger areas, Betty? The ones that have posted ward breakdowns?

The way to get results by ward is to go to the count, watch them open each ballot box, and with a pen and paper take a quick tally of a sample of votes as you watch the counters - it's as high tech as that. Local campaigners may have done that, but they won't be publishing the results or anything.

Birmingham might have a different counting system, it's the biggest council in the country, I think

Just seen on FB that other councils are publishing the breakdown by ward so perhaps they're coming out after all, just slowly.

Did anyone find a definitive list? I know how all wards in my constituency voted but am curious about neighboring areas.

Some have been published by the local authority, some by newspapers and some by political parties or activists.
