Supplementary vote electoral system
As no candidate got more than half the first choice votes, Andy Abrahams (Labour) and Kate Allsop (Mansfield Independent Forum) who had the most first choice votes remained in the election and the other candidates were eliminated. The second choice votes of the eliminated candidates were then counted and any that had been cast for the two remaining candidates were added to their total. There was a bundle check before two recounts of the second preference votes. The candidate who had the highest overall total of votes was declared the Executive Mayor of Mansfield.
