Шаблон:Use dmy dates The first elections to the newly created Leeds City Council were held on 10 May 1973, with the entirety of the 96 seat council – three seats for each of the 32 wards – up for vote. The Local Government Act 1972 stipulated that the elected members were to shadow and eventually take over from the predecessor corporation on 1 April 1974. The order in which the councillors were elected dictated their term serving, with third-place candidates serving two years and up for re-election in 1975, second-placed three years expiring in 1976 and 1st-placed five years until 1978.

As well as replacing the County Borough of Leeds, the new council included:

• Municipal Borough of Morley
• Municipal Borough of Pudsey
• Aireborough Urban District
• Horsforth Urban District
• Otley Urban District
• Garforth Urban District
• Rothwell Urban District
• Tadcaster Rural District (part)
• Wetherby Rural District
• Wharfedale Rural District

The election resulted in no overall control.
