The 2023 East Lindsey District Council election took place on 4 May 2023, to elect all 55 members of East Lindsey District Council in Lincolnshire, England. This was on the same day as other local elections across England.
Prior to the election the Conservatives held a majority of the seats on the council. There were thirteen seats (24%) that were elected unopposed in 2023, of which ten were taken by the Conservatives, two by independents and one by the Liberal Democrats.[2]
The council went under no overall control following the election. The Conservatives remained the largest party but lost their majority. They managed to form a minority administration and their leader, Craig Leyland, kept his position as leader of the council.[3][4]
The overall results were as follows:[5]
