Councils with 2026 Elections (136)

In addition, East Surrey and West Surrey UAs will elect shadow authorities 7th May 2026, taking over some authority from the old county and district councils immediately, and all authority from 1st April 2027.
Assuming there are 162 seats in these new councils (currently unconfirmed), I make the total seats up for election 7,348. As always, do let me know if I've missed something.
