• Turnout: 1,752,303 (34.43%)
• NB: Under the Supplementary Vote system, if no candidate receives 50% of 1st choice votes, 2nd choice votes are added to the result for the top two 1st choice candidates. If a ballot gives a first and second preference to the top two candidates in either order, then their second preference is not counted, so that a second preference cannot count against a first, hence why the "total" vote for Livingstone and Norris is not the sum of first and second preferences.
• As the ballot papers are counted electronically, totals for all second preferences are available, even though some did not contribute to the final result.
