Elections to Liverpool City Council were held on Thursday 1 November 1945. It was the first local election in which all those who qualified for a parliamentary vote could vote.
After the election, the composition of the council was:
| Party | Councillors | ± | Aldermen | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 66 | -6 | 24 | ||
| 44 | +11 | 8 | ||
| 2 | -4 | 4 | ||
| 4 | +1 | 1 | ||
| 3 | -1 | 2 | ||
(PARTY) - Party of former Councillor
As this was the first election since the disruption caused by the Second World War no comparisons are made.
At the meeting of the City Council on 9 November 1945 the terms of office of twenty of the forty Aldermen expired and the councilors (but not the sitting aldermen) elected twenty Aldermen to fill the vacant positions for a term of six years.
