Map showing council control in England and largest parties by council in Northern Ireland following the election. Areas of England in pale cream did not hold an election, those in light grey are other parts of the United Kingdom which also did not hold elections. Black indicates a council in no overall control; all councils in Northern Ireland are in no overall control.

Local elections in parts of the United Kingdom were held on Thursday 2 May 2019, with 248 English local councils, six directly elected mayors in England, and all 11 local councils in Northern Ireland being contested.[2]

A total of 8,798 councillors were elected: terms were up for 8,773 seats, but eight elections for a total of 14 seats were postponed due to the death of a candidate;[3][4] there were also casual vacancies to be filled: 38 in England (including on nine councils with no other elections) and one on Dundee City Council in Scotland.[5]

With the exception of areas whose electoral cycle has temporarily changed (due to a boundary review) or permanently changed, or that have been reorganised, the seats up for election in England were last contested in the 2015 local elections, on the same day as the general election of that year. The seats in Northern Ireland were last regularly contested in 2014.

Conservative councillors were elected to 3,561 seats, a decrease of 1,333 from their previous count. Labour won 2,023 seats, down by 82. The biggest winners were the Liberal Democrats, who gained 704 seats to make a total of 1,351 councillors, and the Green Party, who gained 194 seats for a total of 265 seats. UKIP lost 145 seats, having only 31 councillors elected.

Voters

All registered electors (British, Irish, Commonwealth and European Union citizens) who were aged 18 or over on the day of the election were entitled to vote in the local elections.[6]

A person with two homes (such as a university student having a term-time address and living at home during holidays) could register to vote at both addresses as long as the addresses are not in the same electoral area, and can vote in the local elections for the two different local councils.[7]

Ten local authorities in England required voters to provide identification as part of trial schemes.[8][9]

Background

A majority of the councils up for election in this year were last elected in 2015, the same day as the general election.[10][11] The result of the 2018 local elections saw the collapse of the United Kingdom Independence Party's vote, largely to the benefit of the Conservatives.[12] The Liberal Democrats made gains in 2018; David Cutts, a professor of political science at the University of Birmingham, argued that the 2019 elections would be more a test of their relevance as the elections were in old strongholds of theirs.[13]

In the run-up to the elections, Facebook announced that they would only allow political adverts from authenticated accounts.[14] The government also funded a grant scheme for disabled candidates to participate, funding 60 candidates.[15]

Brexit dominated UK politics leading up to the local elections. In March, there was a demonstration in London, the Put it to the People March, in favour of a second referendum on EU membership, with an attendance reported to be between several hundred thousand and over one million.[16] In addition, a petition calling for revocation of the UK's withdrawal notification under Article 50 TEU reached over 6 million signatures, becoming the fastest signed petition ever in the UK.[17] On 29 March thousands of pro-Brexit marchers demonstrated in Parliament Square in London.[18] Though the UK was set to leave the European Union on 29 March, this was initially delayed till 12 April,[19] then was further delayed to 31 October.[20] Because of this longer extension – unless the UK government approves a deal by early May – the UK will participate within elections to the European Parliament or face a no-deal scenario on 1 June.[20]

Vince Cable, leader of the Liberal Democrats, announced on 14 March that he would be stepping down from that role, with a new leadership election to be held after the May local elections.[21] There has been pressure within the Conservative party on prime minister Theresa May to resign following the local elections, triggering a new leadership election.[22]

On polling day, the Evening Standard predicted the Conservatives would lose 500-1,000 seats, the Liberal Democrats could gain around 500 seats and Labour around 300.[23]

Campaigning

The Conservatives stood candidates in 96% of the available seats, Labour contested 77%, the Liberal Democrats 53%, the Green Party of England and Wales 30% and UKIP 16%.[24] According to the Electoral Reform Society, there are 148 councillors who were elected unopposed, largely Conservatives.[25] New parties the Brexit Party and Change UK, although both standing in European elections later in the month, did not stand in the local elections.[26][27] Chuka Umunna, Change UK's spokesperson, recommended voters support anti-Brexit parties like the Liberal Democrats or Greens.[28]

Nationally, Labour organised their campaign on raising awareness of the impact of the austerity programme by the Conservative-led government on local councils, which has led subsequently to higher council tax and reduced local services.[29] As an effect of cuts to council budgets, council spending per person has fallen 30% since 2010.[30] The shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, had commented that the economic policies of Preston City Council, where Labour took control of the council in 2011, were a model that he wanted other Labour councils to follow. Their changes have seen the public procurement budget rise significantly, unemployment decrease and quality of life improve.[31] Labour has sought to avoid talking about Brexit, but internal rows over their Brexit policy have created headlines.[32]

Similarly, the Conservatives focused their campaign away from Brexit and instead on efficient local services, low council tax and green credentials.[33][34][35] This detraction from Brexit, however, has been quite difficult. Internal party sources has voiced a negative outlook to the success of these elections,[36] with the deputy chair of the party saying it was an opportunity for voters to protest against the party's handling of the Brexit negotiations.[37] Conservative Home interviewed ten Conservative councillors about how the campaigning had gone across the country and found a negative attitude.[11] Defence secretary Gavin Williamson was sacked the day before the elections, which was predicted to be unhelpful for the Conservative campaign.[38]

The Liberal Democrats had stressed their opposition to Brexit in campaigning[26][27] in some areas, whilst not mentioning the issue in campaign literature in others, such as leave-voting Sunderland.[39]

Leave.EU encouraged people to spoil their ballot paper in protest at delays in Brexit.[40]

There were isolated incidents of politically-motivated violence during the election campaign. There have been a few cases of councillors, from the Labour and Conservative parties, being assaulted whilst campaigning.[41] A currently unknown assailant fired shots at the home of a Labour councillor in Sheffield.[42] Homes with Labour, Liberal Democrat and Green signs were damaged in Lewes,[43] and a Liberal Democrat candidate's car was attacked and painted with swastikas in Faversham.[44]

Results

The Conservatives lost control of 44 councils and more than 1,300 council seats. It was the worst Conservative local election performance since 1995, when the party lost more than 2,000 seats.[45] Labour, despite topping national polls, lost 6 councils and more than 80 seats.[46] Labour lost votes in heavily Brexit-voting areas,[47] while making gains in some other places.

The Liberal Democrats made the most gains of any party,[48][49] while the Greens also picked up seats with the largest percentage growth. There was also a significant increase in the number of independent and local party councillors, with their number of seats more than doubling. Similarly, in Northern Ireland, Alliance (the LibDems' sister party), some smaller parties and independents also made significant gains.[50]

The elections were marked by a number of spoiled ballots expressing anger toward the Brexit stances of the Conservative and Labour parties.[51] UKIP lost a large number of their seats.

England

In England, council elections were held in 33 metropolitan boroughs, 168 of the second-tier districts, and 47 of the unitary authorities, as well as for six directly elected mayoral posts. 248 of the 343 English local councils will be holding elections, with the exception of eight unitary authorities, the Isles of Scilly, the 26 counties, 24 non-metropolitan districts and boroughs, three metropolitan boroughs, the 32 London boroughs and the City of London. 8,311 seats were up for election (but elections are postponed for 14), with a further 38 casual vacancies to be filled, so 8,335 councillors were elected. Elections will also take place for most English parish councils.

By-elections were held for six county council seats (in Cambridgeshire, Gloucestershire, Kent (two seats), Surrey and West Sussex) and for two seats in the London Borough of Lewisham.[5] Other casual vacancies to be filled (variously by by-election or multiple vacancy election) are indicated in the tables below by a superscript addition (+n).

Metropolitan boroughs

In 33 of the 36 English metropolitan borough councils, one-third of their seats were up for election. Elections were not held in Birmingham, Doncaster or Rotherham.

Unitary authorities

Elections will take place in 47 of the 55 unitary authorities. No elections will be taking place in Bristol, Cornwall, the Isle of Wight, Shropshire, Warrington or Wiltshire.

By-elections will take place in Durham (2 seats) and Northumberland, in addition to those indicated below.

Whole council

In 30 English unitary authorities the whole council is up for election.

Unitary authorities for Bournemouth and Poole have merged with Christchurch district council to form one new unitary for the eastern portion of Dorset, to replace the aforementioned county council. An additional unitary authority replaces the remaining portion of Dorset County Council's area and the district councils of North, West and East Dorset, Weymouth and Portland and Purbeck. Both authorities will have their inaugural elections in May, and their predecessor authorities are all Conservative controlled except for Weymouth and Portland, which is in no overall control. Nine other unitary authorities will be electing on new ward boundaries.

Non-metropolitan districts

Elections will take place in 168 non-metropolitan districts.

The new districts of Somerset West and Taunton, East Suffolk and West Suffolk will have their first elections in 2019. They replace Taunton Deane, West Somerset, Waveney, Suffolk Coastal, Forest Heath, and St Edmundsbury.

Aylesbury Vale, Chiltern, Corby, Daventry, East Northamptonshire, Kettering, Northampton, South Bucks, South Northamptonshire, Wellingborough and Wycombe originally had elections scheduled for 2019, but the elections were postponed in law following a decision to merge these councils into four unitary authorities covering Northamptonshire[65] and Buckinghamshire[66] from 2020.

Additionally, there are no elections scheduled for Adur, Cheltenham, Fareham, Gloucester, Gosport, Harrogate, Hastings, Huntingdonshire, Nuneaton and Bedworth, Oxford, South Cambridgeshire or Stroud.

A by-election will be held in Newcastle-under-Lyme, in addition to those indicated below.

Whole council

In 121 English district authorities the whole council is up for election.

46 of these councils are electing on new ward boundaries, including six councils which normally elect by thirds: Carlisle, Copeland, Norwich, Preston, Reigate and Banstead and Runnymede. In addition, Great Yarmouth and Wyre Forest are switching from thirds to whole council elections.

Third of council

In 47 English district authorities, one-third of the council is up for election.

Seven other district councils normally elect by thirds. As noted above, due to boundary changes, six of these have all-up elections. Daventry originally had elections scheduled for 2019, but the elections were postponed following a decision to merge the seven districts of Northamptonshire into two unitary authorities covering the county from 2020.

One election will be held for a regional mayor: this newly established combined authority was set up by groups of local councils, much like similar devolution deals across the country, giving the combined authorities additional powers and funding.

Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, local elections were last held in 2014. No party held a working majority on any council (proportional representation makes this less likely) before the 2019 election, although the Democratic Unionist Party came close on Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council, with half of the seats.

The Electoral Office for Northern Ireland published lists and total numbers of candidates, showing that a total of 819 persons were nominated to stand. Elections are by single transferable vote in 5- to 7-member district electoral areas.
