All scheduled U.K. local elections for May 2025 must go ahead as planned.
It has been proposed that some local elections scheduled for May 2025 are to be postponed due to local authority reorganisation. As a cornerstone of democracy, the ballot box serves as a peaceful opportunity for voters to voice their opinions. Postponement of this opportunity is bad for democracy.
