The Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) directory of the elections taking place in May 2023 has now been published.

This directory, an annual production of TUSC, provides a breakdown of the councils with statutory elections scheduled for the year ahead, the number of councillors up for election, and the current political control in each council listed – a tool for forward planning in the battle to get a socialist, anti-austerity alternative onto the ballot paper. The directory is available as a PDF, by clicking https://www.tusc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/473.pdf

There are 229 councils with elections on Thursday May 4th 2023, with over 7,900 councillors to be elected, a bigger battleground in terms of seats to be contested than in either 2021 or 2022. At the end of the directory there is a brief outline of how you can become a TUSC candidate.
