Darlington Borough Council elections are held every four years.
Darlington Borough Council is the local authority for the unitary authority of Darlington in County Durham, England.
[16] Under the Local Government Act 1972 it had its territory enlarged and became a non-metropolitan district, with Durham County Council providing county-level services.
[17][18][19] The first election to the reconstituted borough council was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority before coming into its revised powers on 1 April 1974.
On 1 April 1997 the district became a unitary authority, regaining its independence from Durham County Council.
