In 2027, local elections will be taking place across England.
To vote at a polling station, you will need to bring photo ID.
Local (Town and Parish) Councils are led by democratically elected Councillors from the local community. Local Councillors decide on what services and projects the council will deliver. As representatives of the first tier of local government and the closest to their communities, local Councillors are best placed to engage with their residents and find out what the real local issues are and how to overcome them.
Local Councils are encouraging residents who are passionate about their community to stand for election. There are currently 120,000 Councillors serving on the 10,000 local councils in England.
