The 2019 New Forest District Council election took place on 2 May 2019 to elect members of New Forest District Council in England.[1] This was on the same day as other local elections. The Conservatives were the only party to stand enough candidates to gain an outright majority, as they were the only party to stand a candidate in more than half the seats, with Liberal Democrats, who defended 2 seats, standing 28 candidates, and Labour, which had no incumbents, standing 30 candidates.[2]
