Five candidates have been confirmed to stand for election to Norfolk County Council in the Reepham division on Thursday 7 May. They are:
- Peter Bulman (Conservative Party)
- Jo Emmerson (Labour Party)
- Geraldine Gray (Reform UK)
- Sarah Morgan (Green Party)
- David Thomas (Liberal Democrats).
The current county councillor, Greg Peck (Conservative), is not seeking re-election. He has represented Reepham since 2017 and served as a member of the council’s cabinet.
In the previous election held in May 2021, Cllr Peck received 1,388 votes (49.3%), ahead of Sue Catchpole (Liberal Democrats, 893 votes, 31.8%), Sarah Morgan (Green Party, 310 votes, 11%) and Tom Rednall (Labour, 222 votes, 7.9%). The turnout was 40.9%.
The 2026 election will take place under new county division boundaries, with all 84 seats at Norfolk County Council being contested. The election marks the final vote before a planned local government reorganisation that will replace the current county structure with three new councils.
Polling stations will be open from 7 am to 10 pm on 7 May. Voters must bring an accepted form of photo ID to cast their ballot.
