The 2017 Devon County Council election took place on 4 May 2017 as part of the 2017 local elections in the United Kingdom.[1] All 60 councillors were elected from 58 electoral divisions, which returned either one or two county councillors each by first-past-the-post voting for a four-year term of office.
Boundary changes to the electoral divisions took effect at this election after a review of the county by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England.[2] [3]
