United Kingdom local elections are scheduled to be held on May 7, 2026. This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Green Party wins at least the listed number of council seats for the United Kingdom's metropolitan boroughs, London borough councils, unitary authorities, county councils, and district councils as a result of this election. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A candidate will be considered an official candidate of the Green Party if they are officially nominated by the Green Party and are registered for the relevant election in affiliation with the Green Party. Independent candidates will not count for any party. Only elections for the United Kingdom’s metropolitan boroughs, London borough councils, unitary authorities, county councils, and district councils taking place on May 7, 2026, or rescheduled to within seven days thereafter, will be counted for this market. Resolution of this market will be based on the results of the relevant elections, once those results are official. If the results of any of the relevant 2026 United Kingdom local elections aren’t known by April 30, 2027 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve based on the available results up to that point. If none of the results of the relevant 2026 United Kingdom local elections are known by that time, this market will resolve to “No”. This market will resolve based on the results of the elections as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the respective council government.England's local elections on May 7 will contest over 5,000 council seats across 136 authorities, including all 32 London boroughs, where the Green Party defends 170 seats from a national baseline of 914 councillors. Recent YouGov MRP polling from April 22 projects Greens at 22% vote share in London—up 10 points from 2022—potentially leading multiple boroughs amid Labour's sharp decline and Reform UK gains, fueling trader optimism for significant advances. Leader Zack Polanski's April campaign launch emphasized affordable housing critiques of Labour, aligning with the party's national polling surge post-2024 general election and February 2026 by-election win. Projections vary from 475-1,100 seats (PollCheck, Britain Elects), with turnout and tactical voting as key variables ahead of polling day.
