How local elections work in Leeds

Every Leeds City Council ward is represented by three councillors who are each elected to serve a 4 year term. Their terms are staggered so that we only select one councillor in each local election. This system is called voting by thirds because a third of councillors are elected each year, over a four year cycle. Due to this, once every four years, there are no local elections. This is called a fallow year. The next fallow year in Leeds will be 2025.

In 2018 we elected 3 councillors in each ward. This is because the ward boundaries had been independently reviewed to reflect changes in population and ensure each ward contains a similar amount of electors. It is likely there won’t be another ward boundary review in Leeds for around 15 years.
