Councillors were greeted by protesters ahead of a meeting in Norwich following the decision to scrap this year’s local elections.
Reform UK, which organised the protest of about 30 people ahead of the Norfolk County Council meeting, said voters had lost their democratic right.
The party says it will challenge the decision in the courts.
On Thursday, the government announced that votes at Norwich City Council and the county council would not go ahead in May.
Leader of the Conservative-run county council, Kay Mason Billig, had warned that plans for local government reorganisation could collapse if elections took place.
