2009 Elections Update
May 19
This year we had a record number of young people put themselves forward as candidates for the Youth Cabinet & UK Youth Parliament (UKYP). 15 places were available on the Youth Cabinet and 3 places for the UKYP.
The elections took place between the 26th January – 6th February, and will probably be memorable for a lot of you as it was when all the schools closed due to the snow.
This of course was not great for us as some of you didn’t get to vote, as reflected in our turn out figures which were down on last years.
But we have cunning plans for next year, and we will be extending the voting period, it can’t possibly snow for three weeks???(famous last words) and we are looking into the possibility of electronic voting. We will not be defeated.
The announcement of the successful candidates took place in the Council Chambers at County Hall on the 28th February. To find out who represents you in your District go to Meet the Cabinet
New candidates were welcomed onto the Youth Cabinet and UKYP by Councillor Liz Eyre,and outgoing members were presented with tokens of thanks for their hard work over the past two years- we will miss them all.
