Elections to Manchester Town Council were held on Monday, 2 November 1840. One third of the councillors seats were up for election, with each successful candidate to serve a three-year term of office. The Conservative Party continued their boycott of municipal elections due to their opposition to Manchester's incorporation[1] and none of the fifteen wards were contested.[2] Pro-incorporation candidates aligned with the Whigs retained overall control of the council.
