The 2017 East Sussex County Council election took place on 4 May 2017 as part of the 2017 local elections in the United Kingdom.[1] All councillors were to be elected from electoral divisions by first-past-the-post voting for a four-year term of office.

Boundary changes to the electoral divisions will take effect at this election after a review of the county by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England.[2] This has led to an increase in the size of the Council from 49 to 50 and the splitting of former multi-member divisions.

## Results

[edit]

The Conservatives took control of the council, with all UKIP's seats lost. Labour had a 3-seat loss, and the Liberal Democrats took 2 seats.[3]
