Introduction

The following page WILL provide the DRAFT results from the 18 Northern Ireland constituencies where the 2022 Northern Ireland Assembly Election was contested. Voting in the election was by Proportional Representation (PR) using the Single Transferable Vote (STV) system. There were some boundary changes to constituencies since the 2007 Assembly Election so care needs to be taken with direct comparisons. Each constituency elected 5 MLAs (down from 6 in the 2016 Assembly election), giving a total of 90 seats (down from 108 in the 2016 Assembly election).

Sinn Féin had the largest number of first preference votes of any party, and also won the greatest number of seats. The outcome will allow Sinn Féin to nominate one of its MLAs for First Minister if agreement can be reached about the return of a Stormont Assemly. It would mark the first time in the 101-year history of Northern Ireland that a nationalist was entitled to the role. The Alliance Party had a successful election and increased its number of MLAs by nine. The DUP leader, Sir Jeffery Donaldson, said that, "The DUP has done extrement well in this election ..." (PA Media).
