Local elections 2025: Polls to open across England
- Voters in England are casting ballots on May 1, 2025, in local, mayoral, and a parliamentary by-election across multiple councils and authorities.
- This election follows Labour's 2024 general election win amid declining support for major parties and a rise in Reform UK and other smaller parties.
- Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, seeks gains on concerns over immigration and jobs, while Labour defends a challenging Runcorn and Helsby seat vacated after criminal conviction of its MP.
- Polling places will be accessible from 7:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. BST, with recent polls showing Reform UK narrowly leading Labour as voters decide on 1,641 council seats and six mayoral positions.
- Results are expected Friday, potentially confirming political fragmentation as major parties lose ground and Reform UK’s gains could influence future coalitions and electoral dynamics.
