I have added more wards, and put all labels contesting (with all those potentially independent as such - see below) with their seats, votes and vote percentage (for the whole council). In multi-member wards, I used top candidate share for each party/description to calculate the total - I know this is a common way of doing so. If/when I add percentages to individual wards, I will use the percentage of the total vote share in the ward for each individual - as this seems to be Wikipedia standard (and reasonable enough).

Some candidates ran with no description rather than as an Independent - are these two categories usually discriminated between when doing UK election articles? Also, some candidates under the label "Independent" ran with the "ALL for Dorset" alliance, and their Facebook page has a full list of who they were (including winning candidates in Dorch West and Chickerell). Should this be mentioned at all? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nw12398 (talkcontribs) 13:25, 5 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
