Abstract

This shows the 78 Electoral Divisions within Hertfordshire. It includes the currently elected Member for that Division as well as their Party.

Apart from the special cases of the Isles of Scilly and the Greater London Authority (GLA), the English county councils are the only type of local authority in the UK which does not use standard electoral (district) wards for electing councillors. Instead they use their own larger units, which are termed electoral divisions.

These county electoral divisions are confined within district boundaries, but need not be based on whole electoral (district) wards. In Hertfordshire there are a number of electoral divisions which include partial electoral (district) wards.

Like electoral wards, county electoral divisions are defined by the Boundary Committee for England (BCFE).
