2022 United Kingdom local elections
These included elections for all London borough councils, and for all local authorities in Wales and Scotland.[17] According to the BBC's analysis, the results reflected a national political situation with Labour and the Conservatives "neck-and-neck".These are first-past-the-post or block voting elections, with a mixture of single-member and multi-member electoral divisions.[19] The government has announced plans to replace the councils with unitary authorities pending Parliamentary approval.[25] The 2022 elections saw Labour gain all three of Barnet, Wandsworth and Westminster councils which they had unsuccessfully targeted in 2018.Lutfur Rahman gained the position of mayor of Tower Hamlets from Labour, with his Aspire party winning a majority of seats.They then returned to the thirds schedule, apart from St Helens Council, which moved to all-out elections every four years starting in 2022.[35] In this election two of the 32 councils came under one-party majorities - Dundee (SNP) and West Dunbartonshire (Labour).Elections were held for all councillors in all 22 local authorities as well as for all community council seats in Wales.This was the first time Welsh councils could choose between conducting the vote with the current first-past-the-post system or the proportional single transferable vote (STV) system, although practically this will not come into effect until at least 2027, as councils need to give advance notice of such a change.
