Elections to Hertfordshire County Council were held on 6 May 1993, at the same time as other elections to county councils across England and Wales. All 77 seats on the county council were up for election.[1]
The Conservatives lost control of the council to no overall control, with Labour forming the largest political group. Prior to the election the Conservative group leader, Iris Tarry, was leader of the council, having held that position since 1989. She stood down as leader of the Conservative group after the election, being replaced by Robert Gordon. No leader of the council was appointed in light of the council being under no overall control after the election.[2] [3]
