Council control Council control after election Conservative Conservative An election to Essex County Council took place on 4 June 2009 as part of the 2009 United Kingdom local elections. The elections had been delayed from 7 May, to coincide with elections to the European Parliament. 75 councillors were elected from various electoral divisions, which returned either one or two county councillors each by first-past-the-post voting for a four-year term of office. The electoral divisions were the same as those used at the previous election in 2005. 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. Those who were temporarily away from their ordinary address (for example, away working, on holiday, in student accommodation or in hospital) were also entitled to vote in the local elections,http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2006/1694/schedule/made The Representation of the People (Form of Canvass) (England and Wales) Regulations 2006, Schedule Part 1 Legislation.gov.uk 13 October 2011 18 April 2012 although those who had moved abroad and registered as overseas electors cannot vote in the local elections. It is possible to register to vote at more than one address (such as a university student who had a term-time address and lives at home during holidays) at the discretion of the local Electoral Register Office, but it remains an offence to vote more than once in the same local government election.http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/faq/voting-and-registration/i-have-two-homes.-can-i-register-to-vote-at-both-addresses I have two homes.

As in several other Tory councils, the Liberal Democrats replaced Labour as the main opposition party as Labour lost all but one seat, reflecting the Labour Party's declining national popularity at that time. A notable feature of this election was the number of minor parties and local groups. These included right wing and anti-European parties, that appear to have siphoned support from the main parties and, in some divisions, out-polled them. Local groups enjoyed strong local support, challenging the successful candidates and winning seats. Results summary In summaries, Labour and Labour Co-operative results are amalgamated. In multi-member divisions, the "majority" is the number of votes by which the loser with the highest number of votes fell short of being elected. 2009 Essex County Council election http://www.andrewteale.me.uk/leap/results/2009/382/ Local Elections Archive Project - 2009 - Essex Conservative Party (UK) 60 12 4 8 80.0 43.3 169,975 −1.2 Liberal Democrats (UK) 12 4 0 4 16.0 20.1 79,085 −2.8 Labour Party (UK) 1 0 12 12 1.3 10.8 42,334 −13.8 Loughton Residents Association 1 0 0 1.3 0.7 2,764 +0.3 Canvey Island Independent Party 1 1 0 1 1.3 0.4 1,655 N/A British National Party 0 0 0 0.0 8.9 35,037 +8.7 Green Party of England and Wales 0 0 0 0.0 6.8 26,547 +1.2 United Kingdom Independence Party 0 0 0 0.0 4.6 18,186 +4.0 Tendring First 0 0 0 0.0 1.5 5,866 N/A English Democrat 0 0 0 0.0 1.3 5,212 +1.2 Independent (politician) 0 0 0 0.0 1.1 4,322 +0.8 Community Representatives 0 0 1 1 0.0 0.4 1,523 −0.5 Election of Group Leaders Paul White (Stock) was re elected leader of the Conservative Group and Tom Smith-Hughes (Chelmsford North) was re elected leader of the Liberal Democratic Group.
