%p Sutton borough is divided into 18 areas called wards.

%p You get three votes to choose three councillors for your ward from the list of candidates.

%p The three people with the most votes in each ward become the councillors for that ward.

%p If a political party gets 28 or more councillors they get to run Sutton Council and decide its policies and services.

%p If no party gets 28 councillors the parties have to agree among themselves who will run the council. This is called “no overall control”.
