The City of Coventry has a Council of 54 Members or Councillors who make decisions on matters affecting the city. The city is divided into 18 wards and each ward is represented by 3 Councillors who are appointed for a term of 4 years.
In 2020 one third of the seats were up for election in each of the 18 wards across the city. Every year for 3 consecutive years, one Councillor in each ward will have completed their term of office and their seat will become vacant. The subsequently elected Councillor will then be in post for a further 4 years. In the fourth year, there is no election. This is known as electing by thirds. Due to Coronavirus the elections scheduled to take place on 7 May 2020 were postponed and took place on 6 May 2021. Under normal circumstances, there would not have been local elections this year.
