2015 Maldon District Council election

The 2015 Maldon District Council election took place on 7 May to elect all members of Maldon District Council in Essex, England, on the same day as the other 2015 United Kingdom local elections and held simultaneously at the same polling places or via the optional combined return of two postal vote envelopes with the 2015 United Kingdom General Election.

Result

The governing group of Conservative councillors continued to have the same number of representatives across all areas of the district - except for two councillors, who are members of different political parties, as was the case before the election. The Althorne and Southminster two-seat wards returned one other affiliated member each, with the latter being a hold by an independent councillor and the former a gain by a member of UKIP (from a Conservative) both thus to co-represent the area in council meetings alongside a Conservative member. A Conservative gain of an independent affiliated seat in the district, one of those for Burnham on Crouch North, completed the election, in which 24 of 26 seats were held by members of the same governing party.

NB: The British National Party candidates stood under the description "Fighting Unsustainable Housing because we care" but were promoted as BNP candidates.
