The 2023 Sheffield City Council election took place on 4 May 2023 to elect members of Sheffield City Council in England. There were 29 of the 84 seats on the council up for election, being the usual third of the seats plus a by-election in Manor Castle ward. The election took place at the same time as other local elections across England.
The council was under no overall control prior to the election, with Labour councillor Terry Fox serving as leader of the council. The council remained under no overall control after the election and Terry Fox resigned as leader on 5 May 2023. Labour councillor Tom Hunt was appointed leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting.[2]
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. 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.[3]
All registered electors (British, Irish, Commonwealth and European Union citizens) living in Sheffield aged 18 or over are 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 took place from 07:00 to 22:00 on election day, and voters were able to apply for postal votes or proxy votes in advance of the election.[4]
