In total 52 candidates were standing in the election with 14 seats being contested.〔 These candidates came from the Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, Labour, British National Party, Green Party, Official Monster Raving Loony Party and 1 independent. Issues in the election included anti-social behaviour, regeneration of Aldershot, services for young people, traffic management and the environment.〔 The 3 candidates from the British National Party also caused controversy in the election after they distributed leaflets in Farnborough containing pictures of Mohammad as a suicide bomber. The election had Rushmoor be one of a few councils trialing early voting in an attempt to increase turnout. Polling stations were open in the week leading up to the election in Aldershot and Farnborough, as well as one in Aldershot Military Town. Turnout in the election as a whole was 36%, up 5% on the 2003 election with over 1,200 peoples using the 2 early polling stations in Aldershot and Farnborough town centres. However the polling station in the military town, open on the day before the election, got only 46 votes cast.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rushmoor Borough Council election, 2006」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
