The Council is composed of 49 councillors, elected every four years. By electing County Councillors, the people of Wiltshire are allowing councillors to make decisions on their behalf in relation to the services provided by Wiltshire County Council. This means that all councillors are democratically accountable to residents of their electoral division, and together represent the whole of Wiltshire. Members of the Council must also follow a code of conduct as set out in Wiltshire's Constitution.
