Referendum on how Burnley Borough Council is run - 4th May 2017

 

A borough-wide referendum on whether Burnley Borough Council should continue to be run by a Leader, or change to a Directly Elected Mayor, was held on Thursday 4th May 2017.

The result was as follows:

The ballot paper asked how you would like the council to be run in the future:

By a leader who is elected councillor chosen by a vote of the other elected councillors. This is how the council is run now - 10,986 votes

By a Mayor who is elected by voters. This would be a change from how the council is run now - 8,694 votes

As a result the council will continue to be run by a leader who is an elected councillor chosen by a vote of other elected councillors.
