Stockport Council is elected in thirds, which means that in each three member local ward, one councillor is elected every year, except every four years which is classed as a fallow year. These elections were originally scheduled for 2020 but were suspended for a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the delayed election those councillors elected in 2021 will serve a three-year term, expiring in 2024.
