Elections to Manchester City Council were held on Tuesday, 1 November 1938. One third of the councillors seats were up for election, with each successful candidate to serve a three-year term of office.

Contents

Annual local elections were suspended from 1939 to 1945. Under the Local Elections and Register of Electors (Temporary Provisions) Act 1939 the term of office of all members of the council was extended by one year and casual vacancies among members of the council were filled by the choice of the council rather than by election. Local Elections and Register of Electors Acts of 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, and 1944 each further extended the term of office of all members of the council by a year.

The council remained under no overall control. [1] [2]
