The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 18 September 2024 to Question 5232, what (a) council and (b) mayoral elections are (i) scheduled and (ii) expected, subject to the passage of secondary legislation, to take place in May (A) 2025 and (B) 2026.

Answered by Jim McMahon

The department publishes our understanding of the years in which each council’s elections will be held. That list can be found here.

In accordance with legislation, councils are required to post notice of any election or by-election taking place which they administer, and this can be found on council websites.
