Council elections for the City of Preston, Lancashire were held on 3 May 2018[1] as part of the 2018 United Kingdom local elections. Due to the "in thirds" system employed in Preston local elections, the previous elections to Preston council occurred in the 2014 Preston City Council election, consequently this means gains, losses, and vote share comparisons this year are with those fought in 2014.
All locally registered electors (British, Irish, Commonwealth and European Union citizens) who are aged 18 or over on polling day are entitled to vote in the local elections.
