THE RESULTS ARE in – so how has your constituency voted?
The election was a landslide for Catherine Connolly, who was elected with just over 914,000 votes, giving her 63.3% of the total valid poll.
She got the highest number of first preference votes in 42 out of the 43 constituencies, with Cavan-Monaghan the only outlier.
While Heather Humphreys trailed in second place with 29.5% of the votes – 424,000 first preference votes – the big story of the day was the huge number of spoiled votes
Just under 13% of votes were spoiled, the highest percentage in any Irish election. The previous record was 4.4% in 1945.
