Background The election happened at a time of very high political tension, with a general election due in a few months. The GLC did not come into its powers until 1 April 1965, but spent the first year setting up its committee structure and arranging with its predecessor authorities to take over. Electoral arrangements New constituencies to be used for elections to Parliament and also for elections to the GLC had not yet been settled, so the London boroughs were used as multi-member 'first past the post' electoral areas. Westminster was joined with the City of London for this purpose. Each electoral area returned between 2 and 4 councillors. The first election to the Greater London Council took place a month before the first election to the 32 London borough councils on 7 May 1964. Results General election of councillors The Labour Party won a majority of seats at the election. When the GLC was being planned, it was expected to produce Conservative majorities.Porter Roy London, a Social History 1998 Harvard University Press 396 However, many suburban Conservative-voting areas had successfully campaigned to be excluded from the Greater London boundaries.Garside Patricia Politics, ideology and the issue of open space in London, 1939–2000 2006 Routledge The large constituencies, where the winner took all, exaggerated Labour's win in votes into a near two-to-one lead in terms of seats. It also made it extremely difficult for the Liberal Party to win any seats. With an electorate of 5,466,756, there was a turnout of 44.2%.http://www.election.demon.co.uk/glc/glcresults.html GLC Election Results Summaries 2 September 2023 2018-09-01 https://web.archive.org/web/20180901230825/http://www.election.demon.co.uk/glc/glcresults.html dead Boothroyd David United Kingdom Election Results http://data.london.gov.uk/documents/GLC_1964-4-9.pdf London Datastore General Election of Greater London Councillors 9 April 1964 2 September 2023 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20130822163439/http://data.london.gov.uk/documents/GLC_1964-4-9.pdf 22 August 2013 Labour did particularly well to win Bexley and Havering, but performed poorly in Enfield which they might have expected to win.
