Calderdale Council Elections 2026
This year, the Calderdale Council elections are different. Instead of a third of the council standing for re-election, as normally happens, because of boundary changes the whole council is up for re-election.
Each ward will elect three candidates instead of the usual one.
This makes the 7 May 2026 Calderdale elections the most important council election in recent years.
