These results and projections have been compiled through various sources, including scrutineers, results published on the windows of VEC offices and other sources, including Council Watch Victoria and The Age.
The VEC does NOT publish progressive counts for local elections online. They've told 6 News:
"Our election management system and our website are not configured to provide real-time results publication for local councils (unlike for state elections). We appreciate that this creates a lack of information for the public and other interested stakeholders and we acknowledge that it is not meeting community expectations.
It is something that we are actively addressing as part of our future development work to ensure that we can provide the same level of results information for both state and local council elections. We appreciate your feedback and we are keen to address this in future."

We're hearing from observers that there may be a significant donkey vote in South Melbourne benefiting first-placed-on-ballot Lewis, and thus possibly second-placed-on-ballot Jay. If the current primary vote order stands, Jay is favoured to win.
