The 2022 Lewisham London Borough Council election took place on 5 May 2022. All 54 members of Lewisham London Borough Council were up for election. The elections took place alongside local elections in the other London boroughs and elections to local authorities across the United Kingdom.

The Labour Party maintained its control of the council, winning all 54 seats, mirroring its landslide victory in the 2018 election. The 2022 election took place under revised election boundaries, with the number of councillors remaining the same.

The election coincided with an election for the Mayor of Lewisham, which was won by the incumbent Damien Egan of the Labour Party.

Background

=History=

File:Lewisham London UK local election 2018 map.svg

The thirty-two London boroughs were established in 1965 by the London Government Act 1963. They are the principal authorities in Greater London and have responsibilities including education, housing, planning, highways, social services, libraries, recreation, waste, environmental health and revenue collection. Some of the powers are shared with the Greater London Authority, which also manages passenger transport, police and fire.{{cite web|title=The essential guide to London local government {{!}} London Councils|url=https://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/who-runs-london/essential-guide-london-local-government|access-date=2021-10-10|website=www.londoncouncils.gov.uk}}

Since its formation, Lewisham has generally had a Labour majority. The only exceptions have been the period between 1968 and 1971 when the Conservatives controlled the council and a period of no overall control from 2006 to 2010 (though under the mayoral system Labour still formed the administration). Labour regained control of the council in the 2010 election, winning 39 seats to the Liberal Democrats' twelve seats. The Conservatives won two seats and the Green Party won one seat. Labour extended its majority in the 2014 election, winning 53 seats with a single Green councillor being elected. In the most recent council election in 2018, Labour won all fifty-four seats to the council with 60.2% of the vote across the borough. The Conservatives received 13.9% of the vote, the Liberal Democrats received 12.0% of the vote and the Green Party received 11.6% of the vote, but none won any seats.{{cite web|title=Lewisham London Borough Council|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/cewngrrnky9t/lewisham-london-borough-council|access-date=2021-10-19|website=BBC News|language=en-GB}}{{cite web|title=Election results 2018|url=https://lewisham.gov.uk/mayorandcouncil/elections/results/election-results-2018|access-date=2021-10-19|website=Lewisham Council|language=en}} The Labour candidate Damien Egan became mayor of Lewisham in the concurrent mayoral election.{{cite web|title=Lewisham approves local democracy review after judge rules it withheld info from committee|url=https://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/19348565.lewisham-council-approves-local-democracy-review/|access-date=2021-10-19|website=News Shopper|date=3 June 2021 |language=en}}

As with most London boroughs, Lewisham elected its councillors under new boundaries decided by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, which it produced after a period of consultation. The number of councillors has remained at 54, under new boundaries with sixteen three-councillor wards and two two-councillor wards.{{cite web|last=Lagan|first=Paul|date=2019-12-24|title=Have your say on possible ward boundary changes|url=https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/have-your-say-on-possible-ward-boundary-changes/|access-date=2021-10-19|website=South London News|language=en-GB}}{{cite web|title=LGBCE {{!}} Lewisham {{!}} LGBCE Site|url=http://www.lgbce.org.uk/all-reviews/greater-london/greater-london/lewisham|access-date=2021-10-19|website=www.lgbce.org.uk|language=en}}

Electoral process

Lewisham, like other London borough councils, elects all of its councillors at once every four years. The previous election took place in 2018. The 2022 election took place by multi-member first-past-the-post voting, with each ward being represented by two or three councillors. Electors had as many votes as there are councillors to be elected in their ward, with the top two or three being elected.

All registered electors (British, Irish, Commonwealth and European Union citizens) living in London aged 18 or over were entitled to vote in the election. People who live at two addresses in different councils, such as university students with different term-time and holiday addresses, were entitled to be registered for and vote in elections in both local authorities.{{cite web|title=How the elections work {{!}} London Councils|url=https://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/who-runs-london/london-elections/how-elections-work|access-date=2021-09-14|website=www.londoncouncils.gov.uk}} Voting in-person at polling stations took place from 7:00 to 22:00 on election day, and voters were able to apply for postal votes or proxy votes in advance of the election.
