2007 United Kingdom Local Elections
The 2007 United Kingdom local elections were held on Thursday 3 May 2007. These elections took place in most of England and all of Scotland. There were no local government elections in Wales though the Welsh Assembly had a general election on the same day. There were no local government elections in Northern Ireland. Just over half of English councils and almost all the Scottish councils began the counts on Friday, rather than Thursday night, because of more complex arrangements regarding postal votes.

The change was due to an alteration of the Electoral Administration Act.

There were also a number of councils which used new voting metho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
