The 2026 West Surrey Council election is due to take place on 7 May 2026 to elect members of West Surrey Council in Surrey, England. This will be on the same day as other local elections.

Contents

This will be the inaugural election to West Surrey Council, following its creation from the merger of Guildford, Runnymede, Spelthorne, Surrey Heath, Waverley, and Woking, along with the abolition of Surrey County Council. The council will initially operate as a "shadow authority", with the transition to the council's full powers expected by April 2027. [1] [2]

90 seats from 45 wards will be contested at the election, a sharp reduction in the number of councillors covering the West Surrey area (287 pre-reorganisation [a] vs. 90 post-reorganisation, a reduction of 67%). The ward boundaries used will be a modified set of boundaries derived from the Surrey County Council division boundaries covering the West Surrey Council area and last used in the 2021 Surrey County Council election. [3]

Background

This election will be the first to the planned authority of West Surrey Council, which will operate as a "shadow" authority until 2027.

The Conservative Party won a majority of seats at the 2021 Surrey County Council election. Of the County Council seats in West Surrey, in 2021 the Conservatives won 25, the Liberal Democrats won 11, residents groups and independent candidates won 7, and the Labour Party won 2.

The Liberal Democrats hold a majority in three of the six district councils that will form West Surrey, with the other three councils currently being under no overall control.
