Below is the full seat composition in Milton Keynes after each local election. The normal election pattern is that one-third of seats are re-elected every year except that there is (normally) no election every fourth year. In 1976, 1996, 2002 and 2014, the whole council was elected after boundary changes.
The territory of the Council is about four-fifths of Buckinghamshire (the ceremonial county, which also includes the City of Milton Keynes) and has about two-thirds of its population. The county council had been established in 1889. The county was reformed in 1974, when it ceded Slough, Eton and nearby villages to Berkshire.
