Elections to Liverpool Town Council were held on Monday 2 November 1863. One third of the council seats were up for election, the term of office of each councillor being three years.
Seven of the sixteen wards were uncontested.
After the election, the composition of the council was:
Party | Councillors | ± | Aldermen | Total | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
?? | ?? | 16 | ?? | ||
?? | ?? | 0 | ?? | ||
Because seven of the sixteen seats were uncontested seats, these statistics should be taken in that context.
Following the resignation of Alderman Sanuel Holme, Councillor Richard Sheil (Merchant, of Bankfield Road, West Derby, elected to Scotland ward on 1 November 1861) was elected as an alderman on Wednesday 11 May 1864.
