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 |
|---|---|---|
| Blackpool | 21st (Fourth Division) | 52 |
| Crewe Alexandra | 23rd (Fourth Division) | 49 |
| Hereford United | 24th (Fourth Division) | 49 |
| Hartlepool United | 22nd (Fourth Division) | 36 |
| Maidstone United | 2nd (Alliance Premier League) | 26 |
As a result of this, Maidstone United did not gain membership of the Football League.
