Rejected petition All scheduled U.K. local elections for May 2025 must go ahead as planned.

It has been proposed that some local elections scheduled for May 2025 are to be postponed due to local authority reorganisation. As a cornerstone of democracy, the ballot box serves as a peaceful opportunity for voters to voice their opinions. Postponement of this opportunity is bad for democracy.

More details

The postponement, delaying and/or cancelling of any election, be it local, regional or national only sows the seeds of a loss of faith in our democracy.
