The 2006 Waltham Forest Council elections, were held on 4 May 2006 in Waltham Forest, England. The whole council was up for election for the first time since the 2002 election.

Waltham Forest local elections are held every four years, with the next due in 2010.

Following the elections, a coalition agreement was formed between Labour and the Liberal Democrats.

Eligibility

All locally registered electors (British, Irish, Commonwealth and European Union citizens) who were aged 18 or over on Thursday, 4 May 2006 were entitled to vote in the local elections. Those who were temporarily away from their ordinary address (for example, away working, on holiday, in student accommodation or in hospital) were also entitled to vote in the local elections, although those who had moved abroad and registered as overseas electors cannot vote in the local elections. It is possible for individuals, such as university students who have a term-time address and a home address, to register to vote at more than one address. The local Electoral Register Office has the discretion to allow this. However, it is important to note that it is still considered an offense to vote more than once in the same local government election.
