The 2027 Basildon Borough Council election will be held on 6 May 2027 to elect members of Basildon Borough Council in Essex, England. This will be on the same day as other local elections held across the United Kingdom.

Background

Local government reorganisation

Due to proposed structural changes to local government in England, the 2026 election was intended to be the final election to the council before it was abolished and replaced by South West Essex Council, a unitary authority. However, on 7 September 2026, the government announced it was withdrawing plans for the planned restructuring pending review. Following this announcement, local elections due to be held in 2027 under the existing local electoral calendar would proceed.
