In May 2025, voters in parts of England are voting primarily in local government elections and mayoral elections scheduled for Thursday, May 1, 2025. Specifically, the elections include:

• Four regional or metro mayors in the West of England, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Hull and East Yorkshire (for the first time), and Greater Lincolnshire. These regional mayors oversee combined authorities with devolved powers over transport, housing, skills, and economic development.
• Directly elected mayors in Doncaster and North Tyneside, who have powers similar to council leaders and manage local services such as housing, planning, and social care.
• Local council elections in 24 councils across England, including all seats in 14 county councils, eight unitary authorities, one metropolitan district (Doncaster), and the Isles of Scilly.
• By-elections for 93 council seats in England.
• Elections to 1,274 parish councils.

These elections cover areas such as Cambridgeshire, Devon, Gloucestershire, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Buckinghamshire, Cornwall, Durham, Northamptonshire, Shropshire, West Northamptonshire, Wiltshire, and the Isles of Scilly. The elections are significant as they determine leadership and representation for local services including elderly and disabled care, road maintenance, waste collection, housing, and education. They also reflect political shifts since the last general election in July 2024
