Ballots in Poole were counted four times, with the winner victorious by just 18 votes
If you are wondering how much your vote matters, it turns out it's quite a lot in some areas.
In this election, seven seats were won by fewer than 100 votes. In Hendon the majority was just 15.
Labour candidate David Pinto-Duschinsky had tried - and failed - to win the seat before. After a recount, he won with 15,855 votes. Ameet Jogia of the Conservatives had 15,840.
Meanwhile, Labour’s Peter Dowd won Bootle with the largest majority of the election - 21,983 more than his closest rival.
