The 2026 Norfolk County Council election took place on 7 May 2026 to elect members to Norfolk County Council in Norfolk, England.[2] All 84 seats were elected. This was on the same day as other 2026 local elections.

Prior to the election, the council was under Conservative majority control. At the election, the council went under no overall control. Reform UK were the largest party after the election with 40 seats, leaving them three seats short of a majority. Reform then chose David Bick to be their new group leader; he was formally appointed as leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 28 May 2026, leading a minority administration.[3]

Background

At the 2021 election, the Conservatives won a majority of seats.[4] The 2026 election was held under new electoral division boundaries.[5] Having delayed the elections from 2025 to 2026, the government announced plans to further delay them until 2027, but abandoned this following a legal challenge by Reform UK.[6]

According to a BBC report in March 2026 citing Conservative sources, the party's own internal polling was showing it facing the loss of most of its seats.[7]

Summary

The Conservatives lost 44 of the 52 seats they were defending, 38 of them to the Reform (UK) Party.

Reform won the most seats at 40, doing particullarly well in South Norfolk, a former Tory stronghold.[8] This left them just three seats shy of a majority in the county council, partly due to the success of Great Yarmouth First (connected with Restore Britain) and the Liberal Democrats. In North Norfolk there were ten council seats up for election, with the Liberal Democrats winning seven of them, while Great Yarmouth First won all nine seats in the Borough of Great Yarmouth.[9][10]

The Green Party won 10 of the 13 seats in Norwich. They also won one seat in each of Broadland and South Norfolk districts.

Labour won just one seat, in the Hethersett division of South Norfolk.
