West Sussex County Council Elections

West Sussex County Council Elections determine who will represent local residents on the county council, responsible for services like education, transportation, and social care. Residents vote for candidates in their specific electoral districts, called wards. Each ward elects one or more councillors, who serve for a set term, usually four years. The party or independent candidates with the most votes in each ward win and become councillors. The council then makes decisions on local policies and budgets. These elections are typically held every four years and allow residents to have a say in local governance and service delivery.
