The 2027 Amber Valley Borough Council election will be held on 6 May 2027, alongside other local elections in the United Kingdom, to elect all 42 councillors for Amber Valley Borough Council.
Background The election was not scheduled to be held as Amber Valley, along with many other councils in England, were to be re-organised under the government's Local Government Re-Organisation scheme. Due to the pausing of the re-organisation on 7 September, the existing council boundaries will be used.
Labour currently controls the council through a minority administration, lead by Chris Emmas-Williams. Labour won majority control in the 2023 elections, however defections have resulted in minority rule.
Each of the 18 wards of the council elects either two or three councillors, depending on their relative populations.
