Scheduled elections
Here we have a list of scheduled elections across Norfolk
Scheduled elections locally and nationally - what's happening?
Norfolk County Council
- The Norfolk County Council elections due to take place in May 2025 were postponed and are scheduled to be held on Thursday 7 May 2026.
- This is due to Norfolk's acceptance onto the government's Devolution Priority List which will lead to changes in local government structures across the county.
- The postponement means that the current Norfolk county councillors will remain in office until May 2026. Norfolk is among several areas where elections have been postponed as part of wider local government changes.
Norwich City Council
- The next election is due to take place on Thursday 7 May 2026.
- There are 13 wards in Norwich and each ward has three councillors.
- We elect by thirds, which means one councillor per ward is up for election every year, except one year in four where there are no Norwich City Council elections. There are a total of 39 elected councillors.
