The votes have all been counted and the winners and losers in Ards and North Down are now confirmed.
In the Ards and North Down Borough Council area, just over 70 candidates were competing across seven District Electoral Areas (DEAs) to elect 40 councillors to represent the public in the local authority for the next four year term.
Despite a traditionally low voter turnout of 46.6% (up 3% on 2019), counting continued well into Saturday afternoon at the Bangor Aurora Aquatic & Leisure Complex.
