The elections taking place across local councils in England, as well as the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Senedd, are second only to a general election in scale.
The postponement of last year’s local council elections due to Covid-19 has resulted in the biggest local elections in 50 years, with around 5,000 seats being contested in 143 councils.
Elections are also taking place for 39 police and crime commissioners in England and Wales, 13 directly-elected mayors across England, 25 seats in the London Assembly, and there is also a high-profile by-election in Hartlepool.
