Prior to the election, the council was under Conservative majority control. The election saw Reform UK win a majority of the seats. After the election, Reform chose Michael Hadwen to be its new group leader, and he was formally appointed as the new leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 21 May 2026.[2]
Overview
The 2026 election for new councillors for Suffolk County Council took place on 7 May 2026 as part of the 2026 local elections in the United Kingdom.[3]
This election followed a review by Local Government Boundary Commission for England which reduced the number of councillors from 75 to 70.[4] All 70 councillors are elected from 69 electoral divisions, which return either one or two county councillors each, by first-past-the-post voting.
Beccles and Kessingland is the only two-member ward, with all other wards being one-member. Voters who live in the two-member division are entitled to cast a maximum of two votes, while those living in the divisions only electing one councillor are only entitled to cast one vote.
The election was postponed from 2025 due to the 2024–present structural changes to local government in England.[3]
The government announced plans to further delay the election to 2027, following support from the Conservative administration, but reversed the decision following a legal challenge by Reform UK.[5]
