The district of Epping Forest is in the county of Essex in England.
Until 2002, Epping Forest District Council was represented by 59 councillors.
In 2002 the ward boundaries were reorganised, resulting in the loss of one council seat, and since then the district has had 58 councillors representing 32 wards.
Each ward is represented by one, two or three councillors, depending on the ward's population, so that each councillor represents a roughly equal proportion of the district's electorate.
New ward boundaries are being prepared to take effect from the 2024 elections.
