Background

Whilst an election for the County Council had already been planned, District Council Elections were delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, meaning that they are due to be held at the same time as the Hampshire County Council Elections.[3] Whilst not part of Hampshire County Council, the unitary authority of Portsmouth is also due to hold council elections at the same time.

After the previous election in 2017 the Conservatives held 56 seats, the Liberal Democrats 19, Labour 2, and Community Campaign Hart 1. However, in July 2019 Councillor Floss Mitchell resigned from the Conservative Party to sit as an unaffiliated independent, [4][5] and in December 2019 Councillor Michael Westbrook left the Labour Party alongside borough councillors to form the Basingstoke & Deane Independent Group, [6] sitting with Community Campaign Hart as an independent grouping on the County Council. [7] As such, both the Conservatives and Labour lost a single councillor in the time since the previous election.
