Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox election
The 2023 Manchester City Council elections took place on 4 May 2023 alongside other local elections across the United Kingdom. One third of councillors (32) on Manchester City Council were elected, along with a mid-term vacancy in the Ardwick ward.
Labour retained its majority on the council.[1][2]
Background
History
The Local Government Act 1972 created a two-tier system of metropolitan counties and districts covering Greater Manchester, Merseyside, South Yorkshire, Tyne and Wear, the West Midlands, and West Yorkshire starting in 1974. Manchester was a district of the Greater Manchester metropolitan county.[3] The Local Government Act 1985 abolished the metropolitan counties, with metropolitan districts taking on most of their powers as metropolitan boroughs. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority was created in 2011 and began electing the mayor of Greater Manchester from 2017, which was given strategic powers covering a region coterminous with the former Greater Manchester metropolitan county.[4]
Since its formation, Manchester City Council has continuously been under Labour control. In the most recent council election in 2022, Labour won 30 of the 32 seats up for election with 65.4% of the vote, with the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party each winning one seat with 12.7% and 11.4% of the vote across the borough respectively. The Conservatives received 8.8% of the vote but did not win any seats.
Candidates up for re-election in 2023 are those who were elected in 2019.Шаблон:Citation needed
Changes since the last election
Since the 2022 Manchester City Council election councillor Ekua Bayunu, who was elected as a Labour Party candidate in Hulme in 2021, quit the Labour party and joined the Green party.[5]
Council term
Bernard Priest (Lab, Ardwick) resigned as a councillor shortly before the election period began; a combined election will be held where the candidate with the most votes will be elected to a full four-year term, and the candidate with the second most votes will fill the remainder of Priest's 2021–24 term.

Electoral process
The council elects its councillors in thirds, with a third being up for election every year for three years, with no election in the fourth year.[6][7] Councillors are elected via first-past-the-post voting, with each ward represented by three councillors, with one elected in each election year to serve a four-year term.Шаблон:Citation needed
All registered electors (British, Irish, Commonwealth and European Union citizens) living in Manchester aged 18 or over will be entitled to vote in the election. People who live at two addresses in different councils, such as university students with different term-time and holiday addresses, are entitled to be registered for and vote in elections in both local authorities. Voting in-person at polling stations will take place from 07:00 to 22:00 on election day, and voters will be able to apply for postal votes or proxy votes in advance of the election.Шаблон:Citation needed
