BBC News NI Political CorrespondentThis is how things stand this lunchtime.
The prize for the first councillor elected went to Mid Ulster, Sinn Féin's Darren Totten topped the poll in Magherafelt.
There was early success, too, for the Greens with Aine Grogan topping the poll in Botanic in Belfast.
Green Party leader Claire Bailey said it was beyond anything they had imagined.

Last time, the DUP emerged with most seats although Sinn Féin won slightly more votes.
There are 462 seats up for grabs across 11 councils. A total of 819 candidates stood for election.
