England has a complex tapestry of local government with distinct election procedures for each type of authority - all dependent on where they are in their own current electoral cycle. The team at Stephenson-Mohl (SMG) have combed through the details and pulled all the information together in one handy reference document ahead of this month’s elections.
It is a comprehensive guide to every local council election in England this May. It includes all of the contests in Metropolitan, Unitary and District Council areas as well as single and combined authority mayoral elections. In doing so SMG have set out:
- Which councils have elections this May;
- What proportion of seats in each authority are being contested;
- Where single & combined authority Mayoral elections are taking place;
- Who currently holds the balance of power for each authority.
