Under the provisions of the London Government Act 1963 Greater London comprises the whole of the present Administrative County of London and the county boroughs of Croydon, East Ham and West Ham, practically all of the County of Middlesex and the metropolitan parts of the counties of Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and Surrey. While the Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and Surrey county councils will continue to administer the remaining parts of their present areas, all other existing local authorities and areas within Greater London, except in the case of the City of London, will cease to exist after 31 March 1965. In their place will be Greater London and the Greater London Council and thirty-two London Boroughs, each with its own council. The first election of Greater London councillors was held on 9 April 1964 and of London Borough councillors on 7 May 1964. The composition of the Greater London Council is 100 councillors and sixteen aldermen. Initially each London borough (one of them - the City of Westminster - joined with the City of London and the Inner and Middle Temples) forms an electoral area returning two, three or four Greater London councillors; but when revised Parliamentary constituencies have been settled, each constituency will return one Greater London councillor. Councillors will hold office for three years and retire together. Elections will be held every third year on a day to be fixed by the Home Secretary. The aldermen, eight of whom will retire every third year, are elected by the councillors from among councillors or persons qualified to be councillors. The appointed day under the Act for the new councils to assume full power is 1 April 1965. The Greater London Council will have jurisdiction over an area of some 620 square miles with a resident population of 8,000,000 and a rateable value of £600,000,000. This return follows the series published by the London County Council after general elections of London County councillors.

NOTES The figures in Table I (pp. 5-7) are votes counted, of which the total is 7,543,699. The names of successful candidates, shown in heavy type, also give an indication of the number of seats available, two, three or four, in each electoral area. The number of valid ballot papers counted at this election was 2,405,890 which includes 503 papers 'rejected in part', i.e., papers in which only some of the total possible votes were valid. There were 7,710 ballot papers wholly rejected as invalid; these comprised 68 lacking the official mark; 4,308 where the elector voted for more candidates than he was entitled to; 418 marked so that the voter could be identified; 2,291 unmarked or wholly void for uncertainty; and 625 received from postal voters before the close ofthe poll which failed in various ways to comply with postal voting regulations. 6,243 spoilt papers were replaced. The total of ballot papers used, valid and invalid, but excluding spoilt papers, was 2,413,600 and this figure is used in Table /I (p. 8) for the number of ' persons voting " since each such ballot paper represents an elector who made an attempt to vote or to record a deliberate abstention.

{a) In these divisions the total number voting differs from the total of the hourly returns. The discrepancies (which may be due to some electors taking their ballot papers from the clerk but not placing them in the ballot box and in a few cases (figures in italics) to clerical errors) are not sufficient to affect percentages. (b) Ballot papers excluded from the count of votes are here included, since each represents an attempt by an elector to record a vote, in person or by post. 9
