Elections to Liverpool City Council were held on Thursday 1 November 1894. One third of the council seats were up for election, the term of office of each councillor being three years.
Eleven of the sixteen seats were uncontested.
After the election, the composition of the council was:
Party | Councillors | ± | Aldermen | Total | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
20 | 0 | 8 | 28 | ||
21 | -2 | 6 | 27 | ||
5 | +2 | 2 | 7 | ||
Independent Irish Nationalist | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | ||
Because of the large number of uncontested seats, these statistics should be taken in that context.
Councillor Thomas Kelly (Irish Nationalist, Vauxhall, elected 1 November 1893)[5] died on 17 October 1895.[6]
As the November 1895 election was near and an all-up election, there was no by-election.
