The 2017 Dorset County Council election is scheduled to take place on 4 May 2017 as part of the 2017 local elections in the United Kingdom.[1] All 46 councillors will be elected from 40 electoral divisions, which will return either one or two county councillors each by first-past-the-post voting for a four-year term of office.

Boundary changes to the electoral divisions will take effect at this election after a review of the county by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England.[2][3]
