The voting system used for all elections covered here was first-past-the-post, with multi-member FPTP being used where more than one seat was up for election. All of the seats on the 32 London borough councils were up for election. The vast majority of London boroughs use multi-member wards electing three councillors each; there are also a handful of single-member and two-member wards. Elections to the London boroughs are covered in Part I, which has been split into two chapters (North and South London). The 36 metropolitan boroughs are all elected by thirds. Each ward has three councillors, with the councillor finishing third in the poll in 2004 (when the current ward boundaries were introduced) being up for election in each ward. In some cases two seats were up for election, due to the death or resignation of another councillor for the ward within six months of the election. Results of these elections are contained in Part II, which each of the former metropolitan counties constituting a separate chapter. The English unitary authorities and shire districts may have up to three councillors in each ward, and may hold elections either all at once or by thirds. Only those councils which elect by thirds held elections this year; those councils which elect all at once were last elected in 2003 and will next be elected in 2007. A few districts elect by halves every two years; all of these districts held an election this year. Where districts elect by thirds generally not all of the wards in the district hold an election every year. A full explanation of the electoral arrangements is given at the head of each council’s entry. Unitary election results are shown in Part III (with the exception of the unitary districts covering Berkshire which have been treated as shire districts) with shire district results in Part IV. Part III is divided into eight chapters based on region, while Part IV has one chapter for each county. Finally, at the back you will find an Index of Wards. Where a candidate in an election dies, the election in that ward or division is cancelled and rearranged for a later date. This happened in the following wards or divisions at this election: 6 CONTENTS 7 • None yet. Here is a list of abbreviations used in this book for major parties and selected other parties which fought several councils. This list is not exhaustive; parties which put up only a few candidates will generally have their abbreviation listed at the head of the entry for the relevant council.
