2019 Rushcliffe Parish Council Elections
Parish council elections took place across Rushcliffe's parishes on 2 May 2019, alongside local elections in the borough. Background Parish councils are the lowest tier of local government in England. Elections to these bodies are usually non-partisan, with most councillors sitting as independents. Where there are an equal number or fewer candidates than there are vacancies, all candidates are elected unopposed, and no poll is taken.

Rushcliffe is divided into 39 parish councils (two are styled as town councils), with the former West Bridgford Urban District being unparished. All of these cover a single parish, excluding Holme Pierrepont and Gamston Parish Council, and Wysall and Thorpe in the Glebe Parish Council, which cover two. In addition, the boroug ...
