The 2019 Bracknell Forest Borough Council election took place on 2 May 2019 to elect all 42 councillors in 18 wards for Bracknell Forest Borough Council in England.

The Conservative Party has controlled the council since its establishment as a unitary authority in 1998, and ended up securing a seventh term in office.

Background

Bracknell Forest Borough Council held local elections on 2 May 2019 along with councils across England as part of the 2019 local elections. The council elects its members in all-out elections, with all its councillors up for election every four years.[2][3] Councillors defending their seats in this election were previously elected in 2015. In that election, forty-one Conservative councillors and one Labour councillor were elected.

The council has been controlled by the Conservative Party since the unitary authority was first elected in 1997. The predecessor district council had been controlled by both the Labour and Conservative parties.
