Every autumn, for over a decade now, the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) has produced a directory of where council elections will be held the following spring as a resource for local campaigners. And last October we did so again.

But, as we said then, it was very much a provisional directory and exactly where elections would take place was unclear, and “won’t become so until February or even March, just weeks before polling day”. Now, however, there is clarity, and the new, final directory is available at https://www.tusc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Elections-directory-2026-FINAL.pdf

Now the job is organising the biggest possible presence of socialists on the ballot papers.
