Ward Results

All results are listed below: [2] [3]

Numbers of ballots cast and the percentage (to two decimal places) were given in the results published by Mid Bedfordshire District Council, but checked against results taken from Plymouth University's Elections Centre, which gives the number of registered voters, and the percentage turnout for each ward. Percentage change in turnout is compared with the same ward in the 1995 District Council election.

The percentage of the vote for each candidate was calculated compared with the number of ballots cast in the ward. Note that in a ward with more than one seat, voters were allowed to place as many crosses on the ballot paper as seats. The percentage change for each candidate is compared with the same candidate in the 1995 District Council election.

Candidates who were members of the council before the election are marked with an asterisk.
