'''[[Election]]s for [[Cambridge]] [[City Council]]''' were held on Thursday 4 May 2006. As Cambridge City Council is elected by thirds, one seat in each of the city's 14 [[ward (politics)|wards]] was up for election. The exception was Romsey, where two seats were up for election as a [[by-election]] for the other seat was held on the same day. Therefore, 15 of the 42 seats on the council were up for election. Overall [[voter turnout|turnout]] was 34.4%, down from 37.0% in 2004. The lowest turnout (28.4%) was in Abbey ward and the highest (40.8%) in Queen Edith's.

Because both seats were up for election each voter had two votes (i.e. plurality-at-large [[Plurality-at-large voting|bloc voting]]). Party vote percentages are calculated as percent of the total number of votes; the number (not the percentage) of turnout has been estimated by halving the total number of votes.

Map of the results

Elections for Cambridge City Council were held on Thursday 4 May 2006. As Cambridge City Council is elected by thirds, one seat in each of the city's 14 wards was up for election. The exception was Romsey, where two seats were up for election as a by-election for the other seat was held on the same day. Therefore, 15 of the 42 seats on the council were up for election. Overall turnout was 34.4%, down from 37.0% in 2004. The lowest turnout (28.4%) was in Abbey ward and the highest (40.8%) in Queen Edith's.
