London: The results of the local body elections in the United Kingdom were decided by toss, this decision was made after the votes of two candidates were equal.
Voting in elections is sometimes a contest between the candidates as a result of which the number of votes received by the candidates is shared or the candidates win by a small margin or just one extra vote.
A similar situation arose during the Moonmouthshire County Council election, in which the fate of the candidates was decided by a toss of a coin after the votes were tied.
