How the election works
On 1 May many county councils in England are up for election. In areas with two tiers of local government, the county councils are the upper tier, with responsibility for big-budget areas such as education and social care. Some unitary authorities are also up for election.
In addition there are elections for mayors of combined authorities, including some new authorities, and two directly elected single-authority mayors.
About these results
These results are provided by the Press Association media newswire (PA). Numbers for change in seats are calculated against the state of the council just before this election. Other organisations calculate using the previous election, and this can lead to discrepancies.
They may also announce individual ward councillor results as they become known, while PA release results for each council only when its full count is complete. PA collates results only for elections that were due in this electoral cycle, meaning there may be council byelection results in other parts of the country that are not included. There are frequent changes in ward boundaries, sometimes accompanied by changes in the number of councillors overall.
