The 2017 North Yorkshire County Council election was held on 4 May 2017 as part of the 2017 local elections in the United Kingdom. [1] All 72 councillors were elected from 68 electoral divisions which each returned either one or two county councillors by first-past-the-post voting for a four-year term of office.

Contents

In common with many other local elections that year, the election was highly successful for the ruling Conservative Party, who won the largest majority in the authority's history (they had previously won more seats in 1977, but this happened when the council still included the city of York, resulting in there being more seats on the council overall), primarily at the expense of the Liberal Democrats, who were reduced to just three seats and fell behind the Labour Party; Labour experienced similarly heavy losses, though not to quite the same extent as their nadir in 2009, when they had been reduced to just one seat. As a result, the North Yorkshire Independent group became the largest opposition grouping.

This was the last election in the council's form prior to the next election in 2022, when it was reformed as the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
