2000 election results for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly The 2000 Mayor of London election results If there are only two candidates, the Mayor of London is elected using the First Past the Post system. The candidate with the most votes wins. If there are three or more candidates running for Mayor, the Supplementary Vote system is used to ensure the candidate with the broadest amount of support from London is elected. In this system, voters can cast a first and second choice vote. If a candidate receives more than half of all the first choice votes they are elected. If this does not happen, the top two candidates with the most first choice votes go through to a second round. All other candidates are eliminated, but the second choice votes on their ballot papers are looked at. If they are for either of the top two candidates, these second choices are added to their totals. The candidate with the highest total of first and second choice votes wins. If there is a tie then the Greater London Returning Officer draws lots. 1st % 1st 2nd Final Name Party choice* choice choice* total Ken Livingstone Independent 667,877 38.96 108,550 776,427 Steve Norris Conservative 464,434 27.09 99,703 564,137 Frank Dobson Labour 223,884 13.06 Susan Kramer Liberal Democrat 203,452 11.87 Christian Peoples Ram Gidoomal 42,060 2.45 Alliance Darren Johnson Green 38,121 2.22 Michael Newland British National Party 33,569 1.96 UK Independence Damian Hockney 16,234 0.95 Party Geoffrey Ben- Pro-Motorist Small 9,956 0.58 Nathan Shop Ashwin Kumar Independent 9,015 0.53 Tanna Geoffrey Natural Law Party 5,470 0.32 Clements * These numbers reflect the number of valid votes and do not include those ballot papers which were spoilt.

To be included in this calculation, each political party or independent candidate must receive five per cent of the total number of London-wide votes cast, or they are eliminated. The below calculation is then carried out for each party, for each of the 11 seats. The party with the highest result at each round is allocated the seat. Total number of votes won Seats already won (including constituency seats) + 1 The parties allocate the seats they have won to the candidates in the order they appear on their nomination list.
