2026 election results: latest from local, Scottish and Welsh votes | May 2026 elections

These results are provided by the Press Association (PA). The number of seat changes is calculated based on the state of the council or parliament immediately before this election. Other organizations calculate using previous selections, which can lead to inconsistencies. The electoral system in Wales is sufficiently different from previous elections that there is no comparison.

While other outlets may also release individual ward councilor results as they become known, the PA only publishes each council’s results once the full count is complete. The PA only collects the results of elections that need to be held this election cycle; This means there could be council by-election results in other parts of the country that are not included. Changes in district boundaries occur frequently and are sometimes accompanied by changes in the number of general council members. “Shadow elections” were also held for two new unitary authorities to be created in Surrey in 2027.
