A local election of some kind is being held everywhere in England and Wales on 2 May 2024.

The contests – including council, mayoral and police and crime commissioner elections – will be the last occasion voters are asked to go to the polls before the general election.

The results will be heavily scrutinised for clues as to what could happen when the time comes to choose the next government.
