About These Results
Results are provided by the Press Association (PA). Seat changes are calculated against the state of the council or parliament just before the election; other organizations may use the previous election, causing discrepancies. In Wales, the new electoral system prevents direct comparison. PA releases results only when a council's full count is complete, excluding by-elections. Ward boundary changes and shadow elections for new unitary authorities in Surrey (2027) may affect figures.
