Electoral changes in bid to beat 'voter fatigue'
MEMBERS of Compton and Shawford Parish Council have voted in favour of Winchester City Council’s proposals to change the electoral cycle.
Currently one third of councillors are elected for a four-year term of office but the proposal will see these replaced with a single election every four years.
It is hoped the move will combat “voter fatigue”.
