The 2022 Epping Forest District Council election took place on 5 May 2022 to elect members of Epping Forest District Council in England. This was on the same day as other local elections.
The results were seen as a crucial test for the strength of the Conservative Party in the district following the allegations of Coronavirus rule-breaking in Number 10 by Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.
Before the election, one Conservative councillor had the whip removed from her, whilst a seat was made vacant in Waltham Abbey North East due to the resignation of the previous councillor for that ward.
Detailed below are all of the candidates nominated to stand in each ward in the upcoming election. Figures are compared to the last time these seats were contested in any election cycle for the Epping Forest District Council election.
This by-election was called due to the resignation of the previous sitting Conservative councillor, Ann Mitchell.
