Elections

Cambridgeshire County Council elections - Thursday 1 May 2025

Every four years, residents vote for the 61 councillors who represent them in 59 divisions. Your vote can help to shape the future of your neighbourhood. These elections decide how services are run, how your council tax is spent, and what happens in your area.

We look after a budget of around £1,164 million to run vital services that make a real difference to people's lives.
