1968 Lambeth London Borough Council election

none

Elections to Lambeth London Borough Council were held in May 1968. The whole council was up for election. Turnout was 29.9%. Labour lost control of the Council which was under the control of the Conservatives until the next election.

Electoral arrangements

The election was originally scheduled for 1967, but the term of members due to go out in 1967 was extended for one year to prevent the London borough council elections taking place in the same year as the Greater London Council election. The election used the twenty wards from the previous election for a second time. Councillors were elected for three years with the next election scheduled for 1971.

Polling took place on 9 May 1968.
