The election saw the number of councillors elected to Conwy County Borough Council reduced, from 59 to 55, as part of boundary changes to the council carried out by the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales.^[1] All 55 seats across 30 wards were contested, an increase from the 2017 Conwy County Borough Council election, which saw 6 wards return councillors unopposed.

The percentage shown for each candidate in multi-member wards is a percentage of the vote against the turnout of the election, as due to the nature of multi member wards, electors each have a number of votes equal to the number of seats available, however each elector does not have to use all their available votes.^[3]
