The '''fourth election''' to the '''[[Greater London Council]] (GLC)''' was held on 12 April 1973. [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] won a large majority of 58 seats to 32 for the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservatives]]; the [[Liberal Party (UK)|Liberals]] also won their first two seats on the council.

==Electoral arrangements==
As there had been a boundary commission report with new Parliamentary constituencies which coincided with the border of Greater London, the electoral system was changed (as had always been intended) so that the GLC was elected from single member [[List of electoral divisions in Greater London|electoral divisions]] which were identical with the Parliamentary constituencies. 

Councillors were elected for a three-year term. This was extended for an extra year in 1976 when the electoral cycle was switched to four-yearly.<ref name="Order 1976">{{cite web |title=The London Councillors Order 1976 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1976/213/pdfs/uksi_19760213_en.pdf |website=legislation.gov.uk |access-date=24 August 2023 |date=17 February 1976}}</ref>

==Results==
===General election of councillors===
The Labour Party won a majority of seats at the election.<ref>{{cite web |website=London Datastore | url=http://data.london.gov.uk/documents/GLCE_1973-4-12.pdf |title=Greater London Council Election | date=12 April 1973 |accessdate=2 September 2023 |url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130822164806/http://data.london.gov.uk/documents/GLCE_1973-4-12.pdf |archivedate=22 August 2013}}</ref>

With an electorate of 5,313,470, there was a turnout of 36.8%.<ref name="Boothroyd GLC">{{Cite web |url=http://www.election.demon.co.uk/glc/glcresults.html |title=GLC Election Results Summaries |access-date=2 September 2023 |archive-date=1 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180901230825/http://www.election.demon.co.uk/glc/glcresults.html |url-status=dead |last1=Boothroyd |first1=David |website=United Kingdom Election Results }}</ref> 

Among those who were first elected to the GLC in 1973 were [[Ken Livingstone]] (Labour, [[Norwood (electoral division)|Lambeth, Norwood]]), later to lead it, [[Andrew McIntosh, Baron McIntosh of Haringey|Andrew McIntosh]] (Labour, [[Tottenham (electoral division)|Haringey, Tottenham]]) who was his brief moderate rival for the Labour leadership, and [[Serge Lourie]] (Labour, [[Hornchurch (electoral division)|Havering, Hornchurch]]), who became a founder member of the [[Social Democratic Party (UK)|SDP]] and leader of [[Richmond upon Thames London Borough Council]] in 2001.

===Aldermanic election===
In addition to the 92 elected councillors, there were fifteen [[aldermen]] elected by the council. Eight aldermen elected in 1970 continued to serve until 1976 and the eight elected in 1967 retired before the 1973 election. Seven aldermen were elected by the council on 4 May 1973 to serve until 1979.

Aldermen elected in 1973, to retire in 1979:{{efn|The term was reduced to four years by the London Councillors Order 1976 and aldermen elected in 1973 served until 1977.}}

The aldermen divided 9 Labour and 6 Conservative, so that Labour had 67 members to 38 for the Conservatives following the aldermanic election. It would be the final election of aldermen to the council, with those elected in 1970 and 1973 having their terms altered to all end in 1977.<ref name="Order 1976"/>

==By-elections 1973–1977==
{{further|List of Greater London Council by-elections}}
The first by-election of the term was caused by the court voiding the election in Croydon North East (see ''[[Morgan v Simpson]]''). The former Conservative member Billie Morgan regained the seat she had narrowly lost in [[1974 Croydon North East by-election|Croydon North East on 5 September 1974]]. Labour retained seats in [[1974 Greenwich by-election|Greenwich on 24 October 1974]] and [[1975 Dagenham by-election |Dagenham on 30 January 1975]] caused by the deaths of sitting councillors. The Conservatives kept their seat in [[1975 Finchley by-election|Finchley on 15 May 1975]] caused by the resignation of Roland Freeman and [[1976 St Marylebone by-election|St Marylebone on 8 April 1976]] caused by the resignation of former GLC leader [[Desmond Plummer]].

There was one aldermanic by-election caused by the resignation of [[Oliver Stutchbury|Oliver Piers Stutchbury]] (Labour) in 1976. Alfred Frederick Joseph Chorley (Labour) was elected by the council on 21 September 1976, to serve until 1977.{{efn|Stutchbury had been elected by the council in 1973 to serve until 1979 but the term was shortened to end in 1977 by the London Councillors Order 1976}}
