Both Conservative and Labour parties contested every seat, while the Liberal Democrats had 20 candidates.〔 Other political parties contesting the election included the Green party with 16 candidates, United Kingdom Independence Party with 7 and the British National Party with 3.〔 Issues in the election included regeneration of the town, affordable housing, crime and preserving green space. The Conservative council's plans to move to fortnightly rubbish collection were also criticised by the Labour party. For the election voters were able to cast their vote at any polling station or library instead of just their polling station, as well as internet and text voting being available.〔 The vote count was also done electronically, however problems at a few polling stations meant some votes had to be checked manually. This meant the election count was 2 hours later than expected, with overall turnout in the election being 33.8%.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Election Results )〕 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「Swindon Borough Council election, 2007」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
