Background

14 seats were contested at the election with no election in Canvey West ward, but with a by-election being held in Canvey South at the same time as the normal election in the ward, after the Canvey Island Independent Party councillor Natalie Derby had stepped down in March 2008 due to ill health.^[3] One councillor stood down at the election, Conservative Elizabeth Govier from St Georges ward.^[3]

Not counting the extra by-election in Canvey South, there were 13 candidates each from the Conservative and Labour parties, 5 from the Canvey Island Independent Party, 3 each from the British National Party and the Green party and 1 from the UK Independence Party.^[3]
