The 2024 United Kingdom local elections took place on 2 May 2024 to choose around 2,600 councillors on 107 councils in England, 11 directly elected mayors in England, the 25 members of the London Assembly, and 37 police and crime commissioners in England and Wales. The 2024 Blackpool South parliamentary by-election was held on the same day.[2]
The results were a strong showing for the Labour Party, who finished first on the expense of the Conservative Party, who finished third. The Liberal Democrats finished second for the first time since 2009.[3]
The majority of these elections were last held in the 2021 local elections, delayed by a year from 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
