In the elections to be held for more than 8 thousand seats in 230 municipalities in England, the people went to the polls.
Citizens over the age of 18, citizens of some European Union countries and some British Commonwealth member countries will be able to vote for the elections to be held especially in municipalities located in the central and northern regions of the country. Citizens will elect more than 8,000 people for 230 local governments, excluding 146 municipalities where elections were held last year, and some municipalities such as London.
Citizens who will vote for district administrations consisting of metropolitan municipalities such as Liverpool and Wolverhampton and several municipalities such as Nottingham, Derby and York will have to show their identity cards for the first time in this election. Local elections for 462 seats in 11 municipalities in Northern Ireland will take place on 18 May.
In the local elections held in the country last year, the Conservative Party received 37 percent of the total votes, the Labor Party 31 percent, and the Liberal Democrat Party 14 percent. The Conservative Party, which has the largest number of seats in local governments, has maintained this position since 2003, but experienced a 2 percent decline last year.
