1946 Kesteven County Council election

Kesteven was one of three divisions of the historic county of Lincolnshire in England; it consisted of the ancient wapentakes (or hundreds) of Aswardhurn, Aveland, Beltisloe, Boothby Graffoe, Flaxwell, Langoe, Loveden, Ness, and Winnibriggs and Threo.

[3][4] For the 1946 election, the county was divided into sixty wards, ten of which accounted for the town of Grantham, five for Stamford, three for Sleaford and two for Bourne.

[5] Only twenty-six were contested and most of these were in the towns: every seat in Stamford and Bourne and all but one in Grantham and Sleaford.

3 there was a tie, forcing the returning officer to cast his ballot; and in Corby, the difference between the two candidates was one vote.

The Labour candidate Elizabeth Frances Bullimore was the only person nominated to replace her and so took up the seat in March 1947.
