Elections to Hampshire County Council took place on 12 April 1973 as part of the 1973 United Kingdom local elections. All 97 seats were up for election, with each ward returning either one or two councillors by first-past-the-post voting for a four-year term of office. These were the first to be held after the Local Government Act 1972, which reformed local councils and their boundaries. The election saw the Conservatives form a majority administration with 55 seats.[1]
