In the context of local authorities in the United Kingdom, the term no overall control (abbreviated to NOC; Welsh: dim rheolaeth gyffredinol) refers to a situation in which no single political group achieves a majority of seats, analogous to a hung parliament. Of the 248 councils who had members up for election in the 2019 local elections, 73 (over a quarter) resulted in a NOC administration. In the 2021 election, 14 resulted in no overall control.
