Here is a summary of all the key contests and times.
Last night/early morning
Polls closed across England and Wales in elections for 107 local authorities, 37 police and crime commissioners, 11 mayors, the London Assembly and the Blackpool South parliamentary byelection.
Around a third of councils were due to declare overnight, including Bolton and Hartlepool, where Labour was hoping to win overall control, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock – key tests of Conservative and Labour popularity in Essex – and Redditch in Worcestershire, where the Tories could lose their majority if the party’s vote collapses.
The result of the Blackpool South by-election was expected halfway through the night, with Labour tipped to gain this marginal seat from the Conservatives, in what would be the Tories’ 11th such defeat so far this parliament.
Three police and crime commissioner (PCC) results were also due, for Avon & Somerset, Cumbria and Lincolnshire, all of which were won comfortably by the Tories at the last PCC elections in 2021, so it would be a shock if any changed hands.
Here are the unofficial, estimated times for these results.

Councils:
• 12.30am, Broxbourne
