Election to the Football League

This year Enfield, the winners of the Alliance Premier League, could not apply for election because they did not meet Football League requirements, so 2nd placed Maidstone United won the right to apply for election to the Football League to replace one of the four bottom sides in the 1982–83 Football League Fourth Division. The vote went as follows:

Club Final Position Votes
Blackpool21st (Fourth Division)52
Crewe Alexandra23rd (Fourth Division)49
Hereford United24th (Fourth Division)49
Hartlepool United22nd (Fourth Division)36
Maidstone United2nd (Alliance Premier League)26

As a result of this, Maidstone United did not gain membership of the Football League.
