Elections for Croydon Council in London were held on 6 May 2010. The 2010 United Kingdom General Election and other local elections took place on the same day.
In London council elections the entire council is elected every four years, as opposed to some local elections where one councillor is elected every year in three of the four years.
An election petition was lodged against the result in the Waddon ward, concerning allegations that not all voters who wished to vote on election day were allowed to vote. The case, supported by the Electoral Commission as a test case, was later withdrawn at the High CourtLabour council hopeful issues legal challenge over Waddon election, Croydon Guardian, 28 May 2010High Court hearing into Waddon election fiasco cancelled, Croydon Guardian, January 2011
