The2019 Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council election took place on 2 May 2019 to elect members ofStockport Metropolitan Borough Council in England.[1] This was on the same day as otherlocal elections. Stockport Council is elected in thirds, which means that in each three member local ward, one councillor is elected every year, except every four years which is classed as a fallow year. The last fallow year was 2017, when no local government elections took place in the borough. Those councillors elected in 2019 will serve a four-year term, expiring in 2023.
Despite Labour drawing level on seats with the Liberal Democrats, with both parties holding 26 councillors, the Labour minority administration continued in office.
