Guidance related to broadcast content and standards.

On 4 May 2023 there will be local (and mayoral) elections taking place in some parts of England.

On 18 May 2023 there will be local elections taking place in Northern Ireland.

To help broadcasters to take editorial decisions during election campaigns, we are publishing a digest of evidence of past electoral support (i.e. election results) and evidence of current support (in the form of opinion polls).
