A minor boundary change in 2017 saw the addition of the western part of the Durham neighbourhood which, combined with housebuilding in the existing area (new and redeveloped), was sufficient to push the population over the threshold for a fourth councillor. In 2019, the ward had a population of 31,957.[3]Councillors[edit]Election results[edit]2022 election[edit]2022 City of Edinburgh Council electionPortobello\/Craigmillar – 4 seats[4]PartyCandidateFPv%Count1SNPKate Campbell (incumbent)30.7%3,438LabourJane Elizabeth Meagher18.8%2,099GreenAlys Mumford16.2%1,808ConservativeTim Jones15.3%1,712SNPSimon Clark Sheddon6.7%744LabourHeather Pugh5.2%578Liberal DemocratsJill Reilly4.3%480IndependentAndrew McDonald1.6%182AlbaAnne Todd1.3%142Electorate: 26,118 \u00a0 Valid: 11,183 \u00a0 Spoilt: 243 \u00a0 Quota: 2,237 \u00a0 Turnout: 43.7% \u00a02017 election[edit]2017 City of Edinburgh Council election[5]Portobello\/Craigmillar – 4 seatsPartyCandidateFPv%Count123456LabourMaureen Child (incumbent)22.80%2,378\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0ConservativeCallum Laidlaw19.48%2,0322,0572,114\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0SNPKate Campbell16.96%1,7691,7851,7991,8001,9063,355GreenMary Campbell15.10%1,5751,6211,7021,7051,9502,073SNPMike Bridgman (incumbent)15.60%1,6271,6401,6521,6531,749\u00a0LabourDavid Walker (incumbent)7.59%7929411,0011,010\u00a0\u00a0Liberal DemocratsCallum Leslie2.47%258271\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Electorate: 22,360 \u00a0 Valid: 10,431 \u00a0 Spoilt: 223 \u00a0 Quota: 2,087 \u00a0 Turnout: 10,654 (47.6%) \u00a02012 election[edit]2012 City of Edinburgh Council electionPortobello\/Craigmillar – 3 seatsPartyCandidateFPv%Count12345678LabourMaureen Child (incumbent)36.62,645\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0SNPMichael A.
