Voting will take place today between 7:00am and 10:00pm for the local and mayoral elections.
Elections will be held in 34 councils in England, all 32 councils in Scotland and all 22 councils in Wales. In addition, six areas in England are voting for newly-created “combined local authority mayors”.
These mayors will mostly be responsible for economic development in their regions, but some will have powers over transport and housing. Doncaster and North Tyneside are also voting for local authority mayors, who are elected leaders of their respective councils.
