The 1991 East Devon District Council election took place on 2 May 1991 to elect members of East Devon District Council in England. This was on the same day as other local elections. There were minor changes to the district boundaries for this election.
New district boundaries edit
District boundary changes took place effective April 1988. No districts were added or created. All changes involved the city of Exeter, which borders East Devon to the west. The areas transferred from Exeter to East Devon had a population of about nine persons; the areas transferred from East Devon to Exeter had an estimated population of 189.[1]
