Suffolk County Council Elections

Upcoming Elections in Our Area

On Thursday, 7 May 2026, residents in Kesgrave and the surrounding areas will go to the polls to elect their representatives for Suffolk County Council.

A Notice of Election is an official legal document. It formally announces that an election will take place, outlines the timeline for nominations, and provides the key deadlines for residents to register to vote.

Which Division am I in? Depending on where you live in our community, you will fall into either the Kesgrave Division or the Rushmere St Andrew Division. Both divisions will each elect one County Councillor to represent them at the county level.
