Template:Future election Elections to Slough Borough Council will be held on 4 May 2006. One third of the council is up for election. This is the 121st Slough general local authority election, since Slough became a local government unit in 1863, including both whole Council elections and elections by thirds.

These seats were last contested in the whole Council election of 2004, following the re-warding of the Borough, see Slough Council election 2004. This election will fill thirteen seats for the term 2006-2010.

Recent poitical history of Slough

Slough has an unusual balance of political forces. In the twenty-first century the town has developed something that more resembles the party systems of countries like France and Italy, than that typical in England.

The council has, between 2004 and 2006, had no party in overall control. A coalition of the Britwellian, Independent, Liberal and Liberal Democrat Group (BILLD) and the Conservative Group form the current administration, with the Labour Group in opposition. There are (in April 2006) two currently non-Group affiliated Independents, one an Independent Conservative and the other an Independent Britwellian Residents Councillor, who is seeking re-election on a Slough Independents ticket.

The BILLD Group is itself a local coalition, containing members from six parties or groups of Independent Councillors based on particular Wards. The existing members of the Group have an electoral pact for the current election, continuing electoral arrangements which started with the Slough Council election 2001.

A number of Independents, not currently affiliated to BILLD, are contesting the 2006 election.

In April 2006, the composition of the 41 member council was:-

In the 2006 election 51 candidates have been nominated for the 13 seats up for election. The list is broken down by Party or group of Independents, with a residual category of Independent candidates standing without prefix or suffix and not affiliated to BILLD.
