The 2023 Leeds City Council election took place on Thursday 4 May 2023 to elect members of Leeds City Council in England. It was held on the same day as other local elections across the United Kingdom.
The 2023 elections were the first to be held following the introduction of Voter ID requirements for those voting in person at polling stations across the entire country. The council announced that a total of 225 voters were turned away from the polls for a lack of ID and did not return.
As per the election cycle, one third of the council's 99 seats were contested.
The Labour Party maintained their majority control of the council, repeating the net gain of 3 seats they achieved in 2022. The Social Democratic Party were the only party to gain a seat from Labour, winning their second council seat in Middleton Park.
As a result of Labour gaining Weetwood, the Liberal Democrats were no longer the clear third party on the council for the first time, equalling the 6 seats of the Morley Borough Independents.[1]
