The2005 Devon County Council election was an election toDevon County Council which took place on 5 May 2005 as part of the2005 United Kingdom local elections. 62 councillors were elected from various electoral divisions, which returned either one or two county councillors each byfirst-past-the-post voting for a four-year term of office.

All locallyregistered electors (British,Irish,Commonwealth andEuropean Union citizens) who were aged 18 or over on election day were entitled to vote in the local elections.

Summary

[edit]

The election saw theLiberal Democrats regain control of the council, which had last been under Liberal Democrat control after the1997 election, but had been underno overall control since the2001 election.^[1] TheConservative Party gained only one seat, despite the increase in the number of seats from 54 to 62 afterredistricting, becoming the second-largest party on the council and therefore the official opposition party. TheLiberal Party lost all three of its seats in the election, while theIndependent grouping lost one seat. TheGallagher index for the election, which measures the disproportionality of seat allocation, was 11.94.^{[note 3]}

Notes

[edit]

^^a ^bSeats changes since the 2001 election are skewed by the increase of the number of council seats from 54 to 62 at the 2005 election

^For this election, the Gallagher Index can be worked out as:

Party	% of votes	% of seats	difference	difference squared
Liberal Democrats	38.0	53.2	15.2	231.04
Conservatives	38.0	37.1	-0.9	0.81
Labour	11.9	6.5	-5.4	29.16
Independent	4.4	3.2	-1.2	1.44
UKIP	3.9	0.0	-3.9	15.21
Green	2.5	0.0	-2.5	6.25
Liberal	1.1	0.0	-1.1	1.21
Other	0.02	0.0	-0.02	0.0004
total of squares of differences				285.1204
total / 2				142.5602
square root of (total / 2)				11.93986

^A lower value indicates a more proportional outcome in the election; historically, UK general elections have had a value of around 16.^[4] The Gallagher index is worked out using the formula:
$\mathrm {Index} ={\sqrt {{\frac {1}{2}}\sum _{i=1}^{n}(V_{i}-S_{i})^{2}}}$
where $V_{i}$ is the per cent of votes and $S_{i}$ is the per cent of seats for each of the parties ( $i=1,\ldots ,n$ ).^{[note 2]}
