Excerpt: The Council elections held for Wolverhampton City Council on June 10 2004 were "all out," meaning all 60 seats (3 seats in each of the 20 wards) were up for election. The composition of the council following the election was: In each ward, 3 Councillors were elected. The candidate with the most votes was elected to serve a 4 year term, the candidate with the second highest number of votes was elected to serve a 3 year term and the candidate who finished third was elected to serve 2 years as a Councillor.

At this first election all 60 councillors were elected, there being three councillors in each of the 20 wards. In an anomaly of the usual procedure for local elections, the candidate in first place was elected for 5 years, the candidate in second place for 3 years and the candidate in third place for 2
