Is there a local election in your area?

If you live in England or Wales then the answer to this question is “yes”. On 2 May, every area in the two nations will have a vote in at least one election.

There is no general election but there are council and mayoral elections in some parts of England and Police and Crime Commissioner elections in most areas of England and Wales.

There are no scheduled elections in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

To see if there is an election in your area on 2 May use our lookup, made in collaboration with the Electoral Commission.

If you want to vote, as a University student you are quite lucky as you have two choices you can register to vote at your University address or your home address. There may be more elections in one area than the other so take that into account as well as the fact there might not be any at all in one area.
