The 2018 Mole Valley District Council election took place on 3 May 2018 to elect approximately one-third of members to Mole Valley District Council in England, coinciding with other local elections. The Conservatives went into the elections with a majority of 1,[1] but lost control of the council, leaving it with no overall majority.[2] The 2018 election results are compared (in terms of percentage points gained or lost) against the results when these wards were last contested four years previously, in 2014.
