The 2015 East Hampshire District Council election took place on 7 May 2015 to elect members of the East Hampshire District Council in England.[1] It was held on the same day as other local elections. The election saw the Conservatives maintain their majority, whilst the Liberal Democrats, the only other party to hold representation on the council, lost three seats to the Conservatives, all in Whitehill. Three Conservatives and both Liberal Democrats were unopposed in the election, and thus were returned automatically.[2]
