1976 United Kingdom local elections
Local elections were held in the United Kingdom on 6 May 1976. Elections were for one third of the seats on Metropolitan borough councils and for all seats on Non-Metropolitan district councils in England; and for all seats on the Welsh district councils. The elections were the first electoral test for the new Prime Minister James Callaghan, and were a major reverse for the ruling Labour Party.
