The local elections 2025 results mapped for council elections across the country
Local elections have taken place all across the UK on Thursday, May 1, the first vote since Labour won the 2024 general election last July.
Millions of people will have gone out to vote for 1,631 council seats, 23 county, unitary and metropolitan councils, and six directly elected mayors, with the polling stations closing at 10pm on Thursday, May 1.
Voting in the 2025 local elections cover local government elections, parish council elections, local authority mayoral elections, combined authority mayoral elections and combined county authority mayoral elections.
Of the 23 local authorities holding elections, 14 are county councils: Cambridgeshire, Derbyshire, Devon, Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire.
The others are the unitary authorities of Buckinghamshire, Cornwall, Durham, North Northamptonshire, Northumberland, Shropshire, West Northamptonshire and Wiltshire, plus Doncaster Metropolitan Council.
Every seat on all of the combined 23 authorities is up for grabs, but boundary changes mean some areas will be electing fewer councillors than before.
The six mayoral elections include four combined authority mayors in Greater Lincolnshire, Hull and East Yorkshire, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, West of England, plus two Metropolitan Borough Mayors in Doncaster and North Tyneside.
Voters living in the constituency of Runcorn and Helsby, in Cheshire, will choose a new MP after former MP Mike Amesbury stood down after being given a prison sentence for assaulting a constituent.
Some results are expected to be declared in the early hours of Friday morning, with the rest later on in the day.
