LANCASHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTIONS
7 June 2001

These elections were due to be held on 3 May but were postponed (Elections Act 2001) due to the crisis over foot-and-mouth disease.

The county was divided into seventy-eight divisions each returning one councillor.  The divisions are arranged according to which district they are in.
