Buckinghamshire County Council elections

Buckinghamshire County Council in England was elected every four years from 1973 until 2020.[1]

## Political control

From 1973 until its merger into Buckinghamshire Council in 2020, political control of the council was consistently held by the Conservative party:[2]
