	UK local elections, 2004
		The British local elections of 2004 were held on the tenth of June, as part of the 2004 set of elections along with the European elections and the London mayoral and Assembly elections.
		Howard was looking for a good result in the election to confirm that the Conservatives were back on the road to being able to seriously consider winning the next general election.
		For one of the two major parties to come third in local elections was unheard of in the post-1945 period, let alone for a governing party with such a large majority to come third.

		It is relatively easy to stand for election as an independent candidate, although wins are very rare and usually involve special circumstances (for example Martin Bell's 1997 victory against the discredited Conservative MP Neil Hamilton was aided by the major parties standing aside and not contesting the election).
		United Kingdom general elections are the elections held when the Members of Parliament (MPs) forming the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom are elected.
		Local elections elect councillors forming the local administrations of the United Kingdom are elected.

		However, as the terms of reference raise the question of one agency being responsible for all voter education, the Electoral Commission wishes to indicate support for this idea and that the Electoral Commission is an appropriate body for such a role.
		International research indicates that election turnout levels are primarily related to motivational factors[1] rather than to the particular details of running an election.
		Indications are that a propensity to participate in elections is habit forming and that fewer young people are acquiring the habit than was the case a generation ago.

	Labour gets drubbing in UK's local elections -DAWN - International; 12 June, 2004
		Thursday's local council poll outcome - likely to be echoed in London mayor results due on Friday night and European Parliament results on Sunday - will renew speculation about Blair's leadership.
		Anticipating Friday's results, Blair has in recent weeks insisted he is "up for" a third general election bid and this week's unanimous U.N. resolution on Iraq has given him some respite on a persistently damaging issue.
		The Conservatives might have fared better were it not for their backing of Blair over the invasion of Iraq and a surge by the hitherto marginal UK Independence Party (UKIP), which advocates withdrawal from the EU.

	City Mayors: London election 2004
		After a humiliating day in the local elections in England and Wales, where they became the first party in government nationally to come third in the number of votes cast, Ken Livingstone provided some relief for the Labour Party as he retained his London mayoral seat.
		The nature of the elections on 10 June 2004 was underlined by the success of single issue protest parties.
		Plymouth University’s local elections centre told City Mayors that 20 per cent of voters in 1997 and 2001 voted differently in local and general elections when they were held on the same day.

	City Mayors: UK elections 2005
		The council itself was gained from Labour by the Conservatives in last year's local elections but the mayoral gain by the party in 2002 was seen as something of an upset for New Labour's mayoral project as the only Conservative-held mayoralty in the country capping off a poor set of result for Labour.
		The Conservatives held the mayoralty in the by-election, which was also attributed to another poor choice of candidate from the Labour Party on that occasion.
		This year, as in 2004 and 2005, the World Mayor project is seeking out mayors who have the vision, passion and skills to make their cities amazing places to live in, work in and visit.
