An election to Dorset County Council took place on 2 May 2013 as part of the United Kingdom local elections.[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-21840008 - Dorset results] BBC News. Retrieved 2013-05-13 45 councillors were elected from 42 electoral divisions, which returned either one or two county councillors each by first-past-the-post voting for a four-year term of office. The electoral divisions were the same as those used at the previous election in 2009. No elections were held in Bournemouth or Poole, which are unitary authorities outside the area covered by the County Council. The election saw the Conservative Party maintain overall control of the council.[http://www.dorsetforyou.com/election-results-2013 County Council Elections] Dorset County Council Retrieved 2013-03-30
All locally registered electors (British, Irish, Commonwealth and European Union citizens) who were aged 18 or over on Thursday 2 May 2013 were entitled to vote in the local elections.{{cite web|url=http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2006/1694/schedule/made |title=The Representation of the People (Form of Canvass) (England and Wales) Regulations 2006, Schedule Part 1 |publisher=Legislation.gov.uk |date=13 October 2011 |access-date=18 April 2012}} Those who were temporarily away from their ordinary address (for example, away working, on holiday, in student accommodation or in hospital) were also entitled to vote in the local elections, although those who had moved abroad and registered as overseas electors could not vote in the local elections. It is possible to register to vote at more than one address (such as a university student who had a term-time address and lives at home during holidays) at the discretion of the local Electoral Register Office, but it remains an offence to vote more than once in the same local government election.{{cite web |url=http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/faq/voting-and-registration/i-have-two-homes.-can-i-register-to-vote-at-both-addresses |title=I have two homes.

Summary
The election saw the Conservatives maintain overall control of the council with a majority of 4 seats, a reduction of 1 seat. The Liberal Democrat group retained their status as the council's official opposition despite being reduced to 12 seats, down 4 seats. The Labour Party were the biggest winners, making their debut appearance in county hall with 5 seats. It was also the first time a UKIP candidate had been elected to the council. The council's only independent councillor lost his seat. No other parties achieved electoral representation on the council, though the Green Party did contest the election in a number of divisions.
