This was on the same day as other local elections and a general election. One councillor was elected in each ward for a four-year term so the councillors elected in 2010 last stood for election in 2006. Each ward is represented by three councillors, the election of which is staggered, so only one third of the councillors was elected in this election. After the election the council stayed in no overall control but the Conservative minority administration was replaced with a coalition between Labour and the Liberal Democrats.All change at the top: Lib-Lab pact to run the council https://web.archive.org/web/20170818215839/http://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/all-change-at-the-top-lib-lab-pact-to-run-the-council-1-1948692 18 August 2017 .
