2017 Surrey County Council election
The 2017 Surrey County Council election took place as part of the 2017 local elections in the UK to elect all 81 councillors to Surrey County Council for single-member electoral divisions for a four-year term. The electoral system used was first-past-the-post voting.
The result was that Conservative councillors formed an increased majority on the council, having won back all three of the divisions gained from them by UKIP at the previous election in 2013.
Two second-largest party groupings of councillors remained tied on nine seats each, as in the results of the previous election. These were the Liberal Democrats and an informal alliance of Independent and Residents Association councillors, with both groups securing nine councillors each.
The Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats both won two seats off each other.
The Conservatives won two further seats - one from an Independent in Haslemere and one from the Esher and Molesey Residents’ Associations in the East Molesey and Esher division. However, the Conservatives also lost two out of the three divisions that they were defending in Farnham to the Independent Farnham Residents group.
The balance of two councillors on the Council continued to be the same as before: one Labour Party member and one Green Party of England and Wales member each secured re-election in their divisions.
