The 2002 Havering Council election took place on 2 May 2002 to elect members of Havering London Borough Council in London, England. The whole council was up for election and the council stayed in no overall control. New ward boundaries were in use for the first time and the number of councillors reduced from the previous election. As an experiment, it was a postal voting election, with the option to hand the papers in on polling day.
Electoral arrangements
New ward boundaries were used for the first time. Prior to the 2002 election the council had 63 councillors. From the 2002 election, 54 councillors were elected from 18 wards. Each ward returned three councillors.
Six of the wards were new, including a recreated Cranham ward which had been abolished in 1978. The remaining wards shared the names of previously used wards but with new boundaries. Councillors were elected for a four-year term with the next election scheduled for 2006.
As an experiment, it was a postal voting election, with the option to hand the papers in on the 2 May 2002 polling day.Minors Michael Grenham Dennis London Borough Council Elections: 2 May 2002 https://data.london.gov.uk/download/council-elections-voters-2002/7ab5d023-6683-44ee-8638-dd00593e2055/London-Borough-Council-Elections-2002.pdf London Datastore Greater London Authority 13 October 2023 2002 Wintour Patrick Carter Helen Postal voting boosts turnout in local polls https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2002/may/01/uk.localgovernment 10 April 2025 The Guardian 1 May 2002
