The 2023 Mansfield District Council election took place on 4 May 2023, to elect all 36 members of Mansfield District Council in England and the directly-elected Mayor of Mansfield. This was on the same day as the 2023 local elections in England.
The council was under no overall control prior to the election, with Labour being the largest party and Labour's Andy Abrahams serving as mayor. [2] At the 2023 elections, Abrahams was re-elected as mayor and Labour won a majority of the seats on the council. [3]
Mansfield is one of the seven non-metropolitan districts within the area administered by Nottinghamshire County Council. Labour controlled Mansfield from its creation in 1973 until 2003. [4] In that election, the Mansfield Independent Forum won a majority of seats, and controlled the council until 2011, when Labour regained control. They held the council until 2019, when the council fell into no overall control. In that election, Labour won 15 seats with 34.3% of the vote, the Mansfield Independents won 13 with 34.6%, independents won 6 with 7.5%, and the Conservatives won 2 with 21.3%. The Labour candidate also won the mayoral election, taking 50.01% once second preferences had been allocated.
New ward boundaries were drawn up for this election, although the number of seats on the council remained 36 (excluding the mayor's seat). The wards of Abbott, Broomhill, Bull Farm and Pleasley Hill, Holly, Kingsway, Ladybrook, Maun Valley, Newgate, Newlands, Peafields, Portland, Ransom Wood, Sandhurst, Woodhouse, and Woodlands have been abolished, and the wards of Bancroft, Central, Holly Forest Town, Kingsway Forest Town, Maun Valley Forest Town, Mill Lane, Newlands Forest Town, Pleasley, Rock Hill, Rufford, Southwell, Thompsons, Vale, Wainwright, and West Bank have been created.
