Map showing the results of the 2022 Three Rivers District Council election. Liberal Democrats in amber, Conservatives in blue, Labour in red, Greens in green.
The seats up for election in 2022 were those last contested in the 2018 election, when the Liberal Democrats won eight seats, the Conservatives won four seats, and Labour won one seat.[2] The Gade Valley ward elected two councillors in 2022 instead of one, due to the resignation of Independent (elected as a Liberal Democrat)[3] councillor Alex Michaels in March 2022.[4]
Following the elections of May 2022, Three Rivers District Council is controlled by the Liberal Democrats, who hold 23 of the 39 seats.[5]
Electoral process
Three Rivers District Council is elected in thirds, with a third of all seats up for election every year for three years, with an election to Hertfordshire County Council instead in the fourth year.[6] The election took place by first-past-the-post voting, with wards represented by three councillors, with one elected in each election year to serve a four-year term.
