Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox election Sheffield's Municipal elections were held on 10 May 1962. One- third of the council was up for election, as well as vacancies in Moor and Park. Previous to this election, there had been two by-elections in June for Hallam and Woodseats, which were safely held by the Conservatives. The election saw a record number of 84 candidates, with the Liberals contesting half of the city's wards and the Communists and the Union Movement over a third. The increased presence of the Liberals helped them to triple their vote on the previous year's, and nearly see to a gain in Hillsborough. There were, however, no seats exchanged for the second year running. Turnout was 31.8%, down slightly on the previous year.
