The 2027 Thanet District Council election will be held on 6 May 2027 to elect members of Thanet District Council in Kent, England. This will be on the same day as other local elections held across the United Kingdom.
Background
Local government reorganisation
Due to proposed structural changes to local government in England, the 2023 election would have been the final election to the council before it was abolished and replaced by East Kent Council, a new unitary authority. However, on 7 September 2026, the government announced it was withdrawing plans for the planned restructuring pending review. Following this announcement, local elections due to be held in 2027 under the existing local electoral calendar would proceed.
