The 2010 Hastings Borough Council elections were held on 6 May 2010, with half of the council's seats up for election. The Labour Party regained control of the council from no overall control, despite suffering a heavy defeat in the nationwide general election that was held on the same day. Overall turnout was 61.9%. The election in Ore ward was delayed due to the death of the Conservative candidate following the close of nominations.[1]
After the election, the composition of the council was:
- Labour 17
- Conservative 14
- Liberal Democrat 1
