The next United Kingdom general election is scheduled to be held no later than Wednesday, August 15, 2029. This date is the latest possible under the Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act 2022, as Parliament was first convened on July 9, 2024, and elections must be held within five years of that date unless an earlier dissolution is called by the Prime Minister. There are also local elections and mayoral elections that occur before then, with the most recent local elections in England held on May 1, 2025, and subsequent local council elections scheduled for May 7, 2026, but the next nationwide general election is expected by 2029 at the latest.
