The first election to Herefordshire Council occurred on 4 May 2000, following the council's reconstitution as a unitary authority in 1998; following Herefordshire's separation from the short lived administrative county of Hereford and Worcester formed by a merger of Herefordshire and Worcestershire in 1974. All 37 wards were contested - each electing either one or two members to the council.
