North Somerset unitary council is elected every four years, with fifty councillors to be elected. Since the first election to the unitary authority in 1995, the council has either been under Conservative party control, or no party has held a majority. The Conservatives gained a majority at the 2007 election and retained control for 12 years. Following these elections, a "rainbow coalition" of Independents, Liberal Democrats, Labour and Green councillors replaced the previous Conservative administration.
