Elections to Chichester District Council in West Sussex, United Kingdom were held on 2 May 2019. The whole council was up for election and the Conservative Party had its majority wiped out.[1][2]
Boundary changes
In 2016, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England presented its proposed boundary changes for the Chichester District, following a three-month consultation with the public. This involved reducing the number of councillors from 48 to 36, and the number of wards from 29 to 21.[3]
