The 2021 Cornwall Council election is scheduled to take place in May 2021 as part of the 2021 United Kingdom local elections. It will be contested under new ward boundaries as the number of seats on the Council goes from 123 (in 2017) to 87.
Background
Cornwall Council is a unitary authority which has held elections every four years since its creation in 2009.[6] In the previous election in 2017, the Conservative Party won the most seats but short of a majority. The Liberal Democrats continued to govern the council in coalition with independent councillors.
Following a review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, the number of councillors to be elected has been reduced for this election from 123 in previous elections to 87.[7][8]
