The Gwynedd election was on the same day as other 2017 Welsh local elections.

The May 2017 election in the Hendre ward resulted in a "historic" tie, with the Plaid Cymru and Independent candidates each winning 132 votes. The Independent candidate was declared the winner after a name was drawn from a pot by the returning officer.
