Upcoming elections and legal notices

Local government elections

The next local election will take place on 7 May 2026. It will be an "all-out" election, meaning every council seat can be contested.

You'll receive your poll card through the post in early April 2026. It will include the election date, address of your polling station and the polling hours, which are 7am to 10pm.

You'll need to take photo ID with you to vote.

Boundary changes

Following the Local Goverment Boundary Commission (LGBCE) review, we'll be using a new set of local government boundaries.

Legal notices

We will publish candidate information and other legal notices as the election process take place.
