Welbeck is an electoral ward in the district of Bassetlaw. The ward elects one councillor to Bassetlaw District Council using the first past the post electoral system for a four-year term in office. The number of registered voters in the ward is 1,531 as of 2019.[1]

It consists of the villages of Elkesley, Hardwick (within the parish of Clumber and Hardwick which also includes Clumber Park), Carburton, Norton, Cuckney, Holbeck, Nether Langwith and Welbeck.

The ward was created in 1979 following a review of ward boundaries in Bassetlaw by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England. A subsequent review of electoral arrangements in 2002 resulted in minor changes to the boundaries of the ward.[2]
