It took place on the same day as other district council elections in the United Kingdom.[1]These were the first elections to the new unitary council, which has come into effect on 1 April 2019. The new unitary authority was created to administer most of the area formerly administered by Dorset County Council, which was previously subdivided into the districts of Weymouth and Portland, West Dorset, North Dorset, Purbeck, and East Dorset. The previous elections in for Dorset County Council took place in 2017, and for the former district councils in 2015 and 2016. Future elections will take place 2024 and 2029 and then every 4 years.[2]The 2019 election saw the Conservatives take a majority of seats on the Council.
