Man voting

There are 42 councillors elected to the Cambridge City Council. The city is divided into 14 wards, with three councillors elected in each.

Elections are held annually, with one councillor from each ward retiring each year. Every fourth year there is a break from city council elections, and elections for county councillors are held.

This year's elections were held on 1 May. The successful candidates were elected for a term of of office of four years (until May 2012).

Details of who won each ward election can be found on the elections results page.

We update the electoral register every year. We visit Cambridge households between August and November, then publish the revised register by 1 December.
