Buckinghamshire Council was elected for the first time in 2021, with subsequent elections to be held every fourth year thereafter. [1] A total of 147 councillors were elected, with the 49 wards electing 3 councillors each. [2]
The inaugural election was supposed to be in May 2020, but was postponed until May 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [3] For this reason, it was announced on 18 March 2020 that all of the current shadow authority members would become councillors and the shadow executive members would form the cabinet. [4] The first election to the new authority was eventually held in May 2021. [5]
