2017 election of all 66 councillors to Nottinghamshire County Council
The 2017 Nottinghamshire County Council election took place on 4 May 2017 as part of the 2017 local elections in the United Kingdom.[1] The whole council of 66 councillors was elected for a four-year term spanning 56 electoral divisions, a minority of which return two councillors. The voting system used is first-past-the-post.
The result was no overall party group of candidates formed a majority. Before the election the council, had a one-councillor Labour Party majority — after the election the Labour Party formed the second-largest party group, with the Conservative party being the largest party. The Conservatives formed a coalition with the Mansfield Independent Forum which took control of the council, with the Conservative leader, Kay Cutts, being appointed leader of the council at the council's annual meeting following the election.[2]
A review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England led to altered boundaries for this election.[3][4]
