Voters in Milton Keynes have had their say in the 2026 local elections<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the first time in 12 years, there have been full council elections in Milton Keynes. This means every councillor is defending their seat.<\/p>\n

Seats on the Milton Keynes City Council were up for election in the wards of Bletchley Park & Fenny Stratford, Bletchley South, Bletchley West, Bradwell, Broughton & Moulsoe, Campbell Park & Willen, Central Milton Keynes, Danesborough, Furzton, Great Linford, Hanslope, New Bradwell, Newport Pagnell, Olney & Rural, Ouzel Valley, Stony Stratford, Tattenhoe, Walton, Watling, Wolverton, and Woughton & Fishermead.<\/p>\n

City councillors in Milton Keynes are elected for four years, but normally a third are elected at a time, which can make it difficult for one party to take full control.<\/p>\n

In 2024, the Labour Party<\/a> won enough councillors to reach the 29 needed for a majority, the first time that has happened since 2004 when the Liberal Democrats<\/a> ran the authority.<\/p>\n

However, ahead of the election, a Boundary Commission review increased the number of councillors from 57 to 60, representing 21 wards. The boundaries of all wards, except Tattenhoe, have changed.<\/p>\n

Milton Keynes City Council is a unitary authority responsible for local government services such as education<\/a>, social care<\/a>, highways, transport<\/a>, planning and recycling.<\/p>\n

Polls closed at 10pm on Thursday, May 7, with the results counted on Friday, May 8. Results for the Milton Keynes local elections are due from 5pm on Friday.<\/p>\n

In total, more than 5,000 council seats were up for grabs across 136 local authorities in England on election day. Mayoral elections also took place in six areas.<\/p>\n
