An election to Northamptonshire County Council took place on 2 May 2013 as part of the United Kingdom local elections, 2013.[1] Following a boundary review, the number of county councillors was reduced from 73 to 57 from this election.[n 1] All members were elected by first-past-the-post voting from single-member electoral divisions for a four-year term of office. The Conservative Party held on to their overall majority, having held overall control of the council since 2005.

All locally registered electors (British, Irish, Commonwealth and European Union citizens) who were aged 18 or over on Thursday 2 May 2013 were entitled to vote in the local elections.[2] Those who were temporarily away from their ordinary address (for example, away working, on holiday, in student accommodation or in hospital) were also entitled to vote in the local elections, although those who had moved abroad and registered as overseas electors cannot vote in the local elections. It is possible to register to vote at more than one address (such as a university student who had a term-time address and lives at home during holidays) at the discretion of the local Electoral Register Office, but it remains an offence to vote more than once in the same local government election.[3]

Summary

The election saw the Conservatives maintain overall control of the council with a reduced majority of 8 seats. The Labour Party retained their status as the council's official opposition group with 11 seats, a net gain of five. The Liberal Democrat had 6 members elected, a net loss of three. UKIP achieved 3 council seats, while one independent candidate was elected.

Notes and References

Notes
  1. ↑ Accordingly, the Council's expert opinion on the matter of comparison of any electoral division results before and after is expressed as "This makes division-by-division comparisons between the result of this election and the previous election very difficult. For this reason, we will not be presenting the information in terms of which parties have held or gained/lost seats." However a proportionate measure of the results provides the following exact seat distribution, which rounded to one decimal place, is used for the overall measure of parties strengths: Conservatives:43.7 Labour:4.7 Liberal Democrats:7.0 Independent:1.5 UKIP:0
