By-elections between 2019 and 2021

The consultation on local reorganisation in Cumbria meant that Cumbria County Council elections did not go ahead as planned in 2021. However, elections for the vacant seats on councils were held on Thursday 6 May 2021. These were - Brampton, Cockermouth North, St John's & Great Clifton and Ulverston West.^[3]

On 17 June 2020, a by-election of Corby & Hayton was announced after the resignation of Independent councillor William Graham. A by-election took place on 26 August to fill the vacant seat, and was won by the Liberal Democrats.^[4]
