Brits will take to the polls next month to cast their votes in the local elections. Seats will be up for grabs in local authorities across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The 2022 local elections will take place on Thursday, May 5, with polling stations open from 7am to 10pm. Anyone who wants to cast their vote in England will need to ensure they are registered to vote before April 14.
Votes will be cast in every local authority in Scotland and Wales - 32 in Scotland and 22 in Wales - as well as in London, where all 32 borough councils are up for election and five local mayors will be elected. These elections will be the first local elections in Wales in which 16 and 17-year-olds are eligible to vote.
