Referendum

For this referendum, the ballot paper asks this question:

At present, the UK uses the 'first past the post' system to elect MPs to the House of Commons. Should the 'alternative vote' system be used instead?


Total votes for 'Yes' 6,152,607 Percentage of votes 32.1%
Total votes for 'No'
 13,013,123 Percentage of votes 67.9%
Votes in Lewes Constituency for 'Yes' 12,531 Percentage of votes 34.55%
Votes in Lewes Constituency for 'No'
 23,738 Percentage of votes 65.45%


Parish Survey

The Parish Survey will be carried out in the Small Hall of the Village Hall. Please take part in the survey after you have voted in the District Election and the Referendum. The survey sheet will ask two questions - Firstly, whether in principle you think the Village Hall developments should be supported by raising £420,000 of what is needed through the Council Tax. Secondly, whether, if the new Parish Council does decide to aid the project with a loan, repayment should be made over a shorter 4 year, or longer 8 year period.
Full details of the Parish Survey can be found in the Ringmer Parish Council Newsletter Spring 2011 delivered throughout the village or at http://www.tbds.btinternet.co.uk/ringmercouncilnews/11/21-03-11.pdf
