The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources.

Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected

by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid-

1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections

Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by

Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information

remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any

mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept

up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which

can be obtained by contacting the email address above.

Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period

covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main

parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line

groups together the vote shares for all other parties.

Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties

as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by-

election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance)

as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

The lower graph shows for each main round of local elections the overall percentage turnout

(solid line), the percentage of women candidates standing at (dotted line) and the

percentage of women among those elected (hashed line).
