Mayor of the West Midlands Combined Authority election results: 6 May 2021
The Government has now confirmed that the Local, Combined Authority Mayor and Police and Crime Commissioner elections that were due to take place on 7 May 2020 will now take place on 6 May 2021.
We are still awaiting additional advice and guidance from the Government and Electoral Commission on some of the practicalities. The Returning Officer has been working on plans for these elections for a number of months and will ensure that all necessary arrangements are in place to ensure that candidates, agents and electors can access the democratic process appropriately.
The Mayor will be directly elected by voters from the seven local authorities that make up the combined authority area. This election will also be combined with the Police & Crime Commissioner Elections and local elections in all areas, apart from Birmingham, where there are no scheduled local elections are being held, however, there will be a number of by-elections.
