- Although originally scheduled to take place on the same day as other elections to Cornwall Council (4 May 2017), the death of incumbent and Liberal Democrat candidate Steve Rogerson on 16 April meant the election was countermanded to a later date. The election for a new councillor was held on 8 June.[4]
