Powys County Council election, 2017

Map of the results of the 2017 Powys County Council election. Yscir (in black) initially received no nominations and was therefore vacant after the election, it was later won by the Conservatives.

The fifth election to the Powys County Council since local government reorganization in Wales in 1995 was held on 4 May 2017.[1] It was preceded by the 2012 election and will be followed by the 2022 election.
