breaking news:
On 10 July 2025, the Government published plans to restore the Supplementary Vote for Mayoral and PCC elections, as part of the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. The last Conservative government abolished the Supplementary Vote - restoring it will mean voters in these elections will be able to express both a first and second preference, and will ensure that elected representatives have a wide level of popular support.
