Sam Broughton has romped back into his role as Selwyn mayor after Saturday's unofficial result placed him 10,767 votes clear of his nearest rival.

About 90 per cent of returned votes have been counted in the Selwyn District and some outcomes could still change after all votes are counted.

However, Broughton has retained the mayoralty with 13,584 votes, followed by Calvin Payne on 2817. 

The voter return was 38.17 per cent for the district (18,435 votes), excluding votes in transit to the processing centre and special votes.
