This table reports first preferences only. The elected-candidate marker reflects the final result, so the first-preference leader need not be the winner. Later counts redistribute the same ballots and are not added to first preferences or recorded as another polling round. Final reported count: Mary Robinson 817,830; Brian Lenihan 731,273. Non-transferable ballots are not assigned to a candidate.
