How many votes?

For Buckingham East (Buckinghamshire Council), you have up to three votes to cast. I am asking for one of these.

For Buckingham South (Buckingham Town Council), you have up to eight votes to cast. I am asking for one of these. 

Thank you. 


Further information

For this year's election to the new unitary Buckinghamshire Council, 3 councillors from each of the 49 wards around the county will be elected. This means there will be 147 councillors in all. This number is likely to reduce as the Local Government Boundary Commission for England conducts its review over the next couple of years. How many councillors do you think there ought to be?

Buckingham Town Council is made up of 17 councillors: eight from Buckingham South, seven from Buckingham North, one from Watchcroft and Highlands and one from Fishers Field. The latter two wards were an electoral artefact of the old redrawn AVDC boundaries. They will disappear soon and the town is likely to return to two wards. There is some debate about whether to increase the number of councillors by between 2 or 4 seats as the town is growing. Watch this space... (And what do you think...?)
