The 2016 Exeter City Council election took place on 5 May 2016, to elect members of Exeter City Council in England.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-35813119 |title=Guide to May 2016 elections in Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland |access-date=21 April 2016 |work=BBC News}} Following boundary changes, the entire council was up for election, and all 13 wards were contested, each electing three councillors. The election was held concurrently with other local elections held in England on the 5 May.

The council had been controlled by the Labour Party since 1990, which had held an outright majority since 2012. Labour won the Exeter election, extending their control to 30 seats, their highest ever share of the vote. The Conservatives came in second place with eight seats, losing four to Labour, while the Liberal Democrats won a single seat.

The election for the Devon and Cornwall Police and Crime Commissioner was also scheduled for the 5 May. Voters in Exeter would cast a separate ballot for the office, in conjunction with the residents of the rest of the Devon and Cornwall police area.

Background

The elections to Exeter City Council were the first to be held since the Local Government Boundary Commission for England conducted a review into the electoral arrangements in Exeter. The review was prompted by the previous council that had a high level of electoral inequality, with some councillors representing many more voters than others.{{cite web|title=Final recommendation on the new electoral arrangements for Exeter City Council: Summary report|url=http://www.lgbce.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/26261/Exeter-summary-reduced-size.pdf|publisher=Local Government Boundary Commission for England|access-date=16 May 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304112031/http://www.lgbce.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/26261/Exeter-summary-reduced-size.pdf|archive-date=4 March 2016|url-status=dead}} The old council consisted of 40 councillors from 18 wards, each of two or three councillors, which were elected by thirds over a four-year cycle, with elections to Devon County Council on the fourth year. This resulted in some wards having elections every year, while others would have one year in the cycle with no elections. The review resulted in the number of councillors being reduced to 39 and the number of wards reduced to 13, with each ward returning three councillors.{{cite web|title=Where will you live? Map shows final recommendations for Exeter's boundary changes|url=http://www.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/live-Map-shows-final-recommendations-Exeter-s/story-27886024-detail/story.html|website=Exeter Express and Echo|publisher=Local World|access-date=16 May 2016|date=29 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151206205414/http://www.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/live-Map-shows-final-recommendations-Exeter-s/story-27886024-detail/story.html|archive-date=6 December 2015|url-status=dead}} The ward changes equalised the ratio of voters to councillors, and provided for the entire city being able to vote in local elections every year.

As a result of the review, for 2016 all seats on the council were up for election. The election used the plurality-at-large voting system; each voter was able to cast up to three votes, with the three candidates with the highest number of votes being elected.{{cite web|title=2016 Local Elections|url=https://exeter.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/elections-and-voting/2016-local-elections/|website=Exeter City Council|access-date=16 May 2016}}{{Dead link|date=April 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} As the council would revert to electing by thirds in 2018, a number of councillors would serve partial terms in the interim. In each ward, the councillor who received the highest number of votes would serve a four-year term, the councillor with the second highest number a three-year term, and the councillor with the third-highest votes would have a two-year term. In future elections, each councillor would serve a full four-year term.

Before 5 May 2016 the council was controlled by the Labour Party which had held a majority on the council since the 2012 election, and had traditionally been the largest party in the city.{{cite web|title=Labour win control of Exeter and Plymouth councils|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-17948056|website=BBC News|access-date=20 May 2016|date=4 May 2012}} After the previous election, which was held in 2015 for a third of the councillors, the council consisted of 29 Labour members, 10 Conservatives, and one Liberal Democrat.{{cite tweet |user=ExeterCouncil |number=596691968903774209 |author=Exeter City Council |date=8 May 2015 |title=Exeter City Councils political make up is now 29 Lab, 10 Con and 1 LibDem |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20210603045216/https://twitter.com/ExeterCouncil/status/596691968903774209 |archive-date=3 June 2021}}

Campaign

A total of 138 candidates stood for election across the city. Four parties stood in every ward in the city, with both the Labour and Conservative parties putting up candidates for all 39 seats. The Green Party had the next highest number of candidates with 27, and the Liberal Democrats stood 20 candidates across the city. The UK Independence Party had 12 candidates standing in nine wards, and one person represented the Independence from Europe party.{{cite web|title=Full list: Who is standing in the 2016 Exeter City Council elections?|url=http://www.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/list-standing-2016-Exeter-City-Council-elections/story-29095475-detail/story.html|website=Exeter Express and Echo|publisher=Local World|access-date=17 May 2016|date=12 April 2016}}{{Dead link|date=September 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

The Labour Party were standing on their record in office and their key redevelopment plans for the former bus station, which would include the St Sidwell's Point leisure complex in the centre of the city.{{cite web|title=Exeter Elections 2016: We take a look at the party manifestos|url=http://www.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/exeter-elections-2016-party-wants-vote/story-29185482-detail/story.html|website=Exeter Express and Echo|publisher=Local World|access-date=17 June 2016|date=30 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160501105103/http://www.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/Exeter-Elections-2016-party-wants-vote/story-29185482-detail/story.html|archive-date=1 May 2016|url-status=dead}} Labour also aimed to reduce traffic congestion, add a food waste collection, and reduce homelessness and the lack of affordable housing. The Conservatives campaigned against the St Sidwell's Point project on cost grounds, instead promising to invest in affordable housing, cultural venues, and producing a new transport plan for Exeter. The party aimed to improve on its low number of seats on the council. The Liberal Democrats planned to rebuild their former presence in Exeter, focusing on improving the quality of public services. The Green Party proposed a more environmentally sound city, focusing on improving the quality of life for residents, a sustainable development plan, and reducing waste from the city. They also planned to make the council more democratic and accountable to the people of Exeter. UKIP had a national plan for local councils, which included devolution of power to local authorities, attempting to end funding and projects from the European Union and prioritising locals in service provision.

Results

The election was won by the Labour Party, who won 30 of the 39 seats on the council. The Conservative Party came second, winning eight seats, and the Liberal Democrats had one councillor elected.{{cite web|title=Exeter City Council: Labour strengthen control|url=http://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/update/2016-05-06/exeter-city-council-labour-strengthen-control/|website=ITV Westcountry|publisher=ITV|access-date=5 June 2016|date=6 May 2016}} The overall turnout was 39.14%. Labour extended its majority to 10 councillors – the party's largest ever majority on the council – by gaining three seats from the Conservatives.{{cite web|title=Mapped: Exeter election results as Labour gain seats in the city|url=http://www.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/Mapped-Exeter-election-results-Labour-gain-seats/story-29237694-detail/story.html|website=ITV Westcountry|publisher=ITV|access-date=5 June 2016|date=6 May 2016}}{{Dead link|date=September 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Labour won all three seats in eight wards, and won at least one seat in every ward except the suburban Topsham, won by the Conservatives. The Conservatives also won five other seats across the city. One ward, Duryard & St James, was split three ways between the parties.
