Most Recent Election Results Summary
On 7 June 2001 the voters of Northern Ireland chose 18
MPs for the House of Commons in Westminster, and also the 582
members of the 26 district councils. These 600 were the largest number
of people elected on the same day since 1967. It was also the first time
ever that a proportional representation election (for the local councils) and a "First-Past-the-Post"
election (for Westminster) took place on the same day across Northern Ireland - the most complex election we have ever had.
