There are only 7 8 contests this month, 5 on August 2nd, 2 on August 16th and 1 on August 30th.
- 3 are for District council seats last contested in May 2011
- 1 is for a District Council elected in May 2011 although there was a by-election for the same seat in March 2012
- 1 is for a Unitary Authority last contested on new boundaries in 2011
- 1 is for a County Council last contested in 2009 and
- 1 2 for a Welsh Council elected in May 2012.
The Conservatives are defending 3 seats (2 following resignations and 1 the death of the previous councillor), Labour 1 2 seats (deaths), Lib Dems 1 seat (also a death) and Independent / Resident (1 resignation and 1 death).
With nomonations known for 7 seats, the Conservatives are contesting all 7 seats, Labour and Independents 4 seats, Lib Dems and UKIP 3 seats, and Residents, English Democrats, TUSC and Plaid Cymru 1 each.
Posting amended for the Bridgend, Bettws contest on 30th August with nomination required by 2nd August.
Predictions on this thread by 9.00 am BST of the day of the election.
I have accepted hempie's entry on the July prediction thread as this was posted well before the current thread was started.

I will see if I have the consistency to contribute for a whole month"
Lincoln East: Lab 45, Con 25, LD 20, UKIP 8, ED1, TUSC 1
Fleet: Ind 55, Con 45
Long Sutton: Ind 60, Con 40

For the record basically I am postulating a draw in Polegate but need to predict the drawing of lots for competition purposes!

Precedent has been set that it is possible to predict in effect a draw in these situations in which case you would receieve 5 'wrong winner' faults if either of those candidates were to win

There may be an issue in the event that a count concluded with two or more candidates tied. This would mean drawing lots, but the winner of the drawing of lots would then receive the Returning Officer's casting vote as an additional vote. Would the percentages be calculated on the basis of the original figures, or the figures after the casting vote?

David you would be the fount of wisdom on this but my assumption is that the published figures would normally include the RO's casting vote.

Bury's results page gives the Ramsbottom result for 2011 as a Labour majority of 1 (1,823 to 1,822); the candidates actually ended up tied and the one vote was the result of drawing straws. Rallings and Thrasher also show it as 1,823 to 1,822 with no note explaining where the last vote came from. LEAP on the other hand identifies it as an occasion where the casting vote came in. |

Actually I should probably know from personal experience as the agent when it happened in St Albans' Wheathampstead ward in ca 2006. But not sure I ever checked the formal notice.
