AS CLEAR AS CLEAR CAN BE.

Dear 4th May Voters,

We are being contacted by residents who are still unfamiliar with the election process at County level. 

So, to be absolutely clear, this is our message to those Residents.

The Shepway area is divided up into six areas known as divisions.

Each area will have a number of candidates who will be seeking your vote. For example; if you are in the Elham Valley Division (look on your voting card) you will see that Susan Carey, Conservative (the incumbent Councillor) is standing for reelection.
Standing against her are other candidates representing UKIP, Labour, Lib Dems and The Green Party.

They are all seeking your vote to represent you at County Hall: They will be your voice at Kent County Council. 

Your vote will ONLY count in the Elham Valley Division. 

The other five areas' vote totals will have no effect whatsoever on the Elham Valley Division. Similarly, the Elham Valley vote totals will not affect the outcome of any other of the five Divisions.

When the results are known, the Shepway area will have six County Councillors representing us all at County Hall in Maidstone. 

Set out below is the outcome of the Elham Valley Division 2013 (taken from the KCC website).
