Result
Gains and losses in the results table are compared with the 1983 district council election.
Ward Results
All results are listed below:[2]
Figures on turnout were taken from Plymouth University's Elections Centre, which gives the number of registered voters, and the percentage turnout for each ward. The number of ballots cast for each ward was calculated from these. Percentage change in turnout is compared with the same ward in the 1983 District Council election.
The percentage of the vote for each candidate was calculated compared with the number of ballots cast in the ward. Note that in a ward with more than one seat, voters were allowed to place as many crosses on the ballot paper as seats. The percentage change for each candidate is compared with the same candidate in the 1983 District Council election.
Candidates who were members of the council before the election are marked with an asterisk.
