There are no scheduled elections to take place in May this year. This is because 2025 is a fallow year in the election cycle for Metropolitan Councils.
The next scheduled election will take place on Thursday 7th May 2026.
If you have worked previously applied to work at an election, then you will be contacted by email around December 2025 to see if you are available to work.

Working at a Polling Station
Polling station staff are responsible for making sure voting procedures are correctly followed. On election day, staff must have their polling station set up and ready to open for 7am, working through the day until after the polls close at 10pm. You must be available to work throughout these hours.
All staff employed to work at a polling station must attend an online training session before taking up their appointment.
