Back to EpisodesCity of London's Unique Election Rhythm
Description
Londons City of London Corporation, the ancient governing body of the Square Mile, holds its council elections on a different rhythm, with all seats up last March for four-year terms. The unique setup, which allows both residents and businesses to vote, resulted in eight new female councillors in Castle Baynard ward last year, but also sparked controversy due to fourteen uncontested wards. As the rest of London votes on May seventh, the Square Mile continues its unique democratic tradition.
