#LE2015 at LGiU
Every year we provide live coverage of the local elections – and this year’s no different. We and our network of on-the-ground ‘count correspondents’ will be providing by-the-minute information and commentary throughout the local elections, starting with our live coverage of the countdown to the count.

Volunteer to be a count correspondent
As well as this year’s General Election, many authorities will also have local elections taking place. As usual we’ll be running our ‘count correspondence’, with a live on-the-ground feed from around the country.
We’ll also be keeping the interactive map below updated as the results come in. After the election, we’ll be collaborating with the Municipal Journal to produce our annual political control map.
