Council control Council control after election Conservative Party Conservative Party An election to Somerset County Council took place on 2 May 2013 as part of the 2013 United Kingdom local elections. 55 councillors were elected from 54 electoral divisions, which returned one county councillor each with the exception of the two-member Glastonbury & Street division. Members were elected by the first-past-the-post voting system for a four-year term of office. The electoral divisions were changed from those used at the previous election in 2009, reducing the number of county councillors from 58 to 55 from this election. No elections were held in North Somerset or Bath and North East Somerset, which are unitary authorities outside the area covered by the County Council. The Conservative Party retained control of the council, despite having their majority reduced. They won 28 of the 54 seats contested on 2 May,https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-22366535 Local elections 2013: Somerset Tories retain control BBC News 3 May 2013 4 May 2013 in addition to the division of Coker,https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-22567775 Conservative win for Coker division in delayed election BBC News 17 May 2013 17 May 2013 where the election was delayed until 16 May due to the death of one of the candidates.http://www.somerset.gov.uk/irj/public/news/directory/articles?rid=/guid/00c46411-0996-3010-0c97-8c34071fcae6 https://archive.today/20130616050732/http://www.somerset.gov.uk/irj/public/news/directory/articles?rid=/guid/00c46411-0996-3010-0c97-8c34071fcae6 dead 16 June 2013 2013 County Council Election results Somerset County Council 4 May 2013 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.
