The Mercury has analysed the first preferences in the Wollongong lord mayoral vote to reveal who the favoured contender was in each suburb.
Not surprisingly, incumbent lord mayor Gordon Bradbery – who was officially re-elected at the weekend – won most of the 66 booths where votes could be lodged.
Cr Bradbery, an independent, won 43 of the 66 polling places, which included election day booths across the Wollongong Local Government Area and pre-poll centres at Dapto, Thirroul, Wollongong and Sydney Town Hall.
Labor’s lord mayoral contender David Brown won 18 booths, the Greens’ Mithra Cox topped the polls at three of them and the Liberal Party's John Dorahy had wins at two booths.
