The 2013 Nottinghamshire County Council Election took place on 2 May 2013 as part of the 2013 United Kingdom local elections.

The Labour Party won a narrow majority of one seat, gaining overall control from the Conservative Party who had controlled the council since the 2009 election. The Labour Party won 34 seats, an increase of 21 seats compared with the previous election. The Conservative Party lost 14 seats and the Mansfield Independent Forum and the Liberal Democrats also suffered losses. UKIP lost their single seat despite a significant increase in vote share.

Background

67 councillors were elected from 54 electoral divisions, which returned either one or two county councillors each by first-past-the-post voting for a four-year term of office.

In the previous election in 2009, held during the peak of the unpopularity of the then Labour government, the Conservative Party gained control of the council for the first time since 1977, albeit with a slim majority. The Liberal Democrats, Independents and the Mansfield Independent Forum all made gains at the expense of the Labour Party.

By-elections held between 2009 and 2013 indicated an increase in support for Labour, who gained seats in Mansfield South, Worksop West, and Rufford.
