The 2023 Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council election will take place on 4 May, 2023, to elect all 76 members of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council in Dorset, England.^[1]

Background

Prior to the election the council was under no overall control, being led by a minority Conservative administration. Eight registered political parties were represented on the council, in addition to eight independent councillors who did not belong to a party. Some of the parties and independents formed political groups:

The "Poole Independents" group comprised the Poole People Party, the Alliance for Local Living and one of the independent councillors.
The "Bournemouth Independent and Green" group comprised the Green Party and two of the independent councillors.

The other parties each formed their own groups, and the remaining five independent councillors were not aligned to any group.^[2]^[3]
