Partisan Composition of Woking Borough Council
Woking Borough Council is usually elected by thirds: That is, approximately one-third of the members are re-elected at each election, each serving four year terms, with one year out of every four not having Council elections.
The Council was, however, re-elected whole in 2000 after wholesale boundary changes to the Wards.

Famous quotes containing the words partisan, composition and/or council:

—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
