Your CouncilThere are 55 ‘electoral divisions’ in Leicestershire. Each one has a County
Councillor who represents the people in that division and is voted in by them. County Council
elections take place every four years the next one is in May 2009. People over 18 yrs are able to vote,
provided they are on the electoral roll.
County Councillors attend the meeting of the County Council, about every two months,
at County Hall, to discuss and decide on a range of matters to do with the Council and its policies.
They also take up issues relating to their area.
The Councillors are members of political parties. Generally, the party with the
most Councillors forms the Cabinet, which makes the majority of policy and service decisions on behalf
of the County Council.
