As can be seen from the table above there has not been a contested election since the creation of Central Bedfordshire. The elections in 2011, 2015 and 2019 had insufficient candidates and consequently the candidates were elected without contest. The vacant seats were authorised to be filled by co-option. In 2023, 6 nominations were received for a by-election immediately following the failure to submit the nominations in time for the ordinary day of election.
