LIVE Local Election 2026 trackers show North East results
Voters took to the polls on Thursday (May 7) to elect councillors across the region.
All seats were up for grabs in Newcastle, Gateshead, South Tyneside and Sunderland, while a third of councillors are being elected in North Tyneside and Hartlepool.
Other parts of the region are not electing councillors this year.
Reform UK, which took control of Durham County Council last year, is hoping to replicate that success across the North East, with Sunderland and Hartlepool areas to watch.
Results are estimated to be announced for each council at:
- Hartlepool – 2am
- North Tyneside – 1.45pm
- Sunderland – 4pm
- Gateshead – 4pm
- Newcastle – 4.45pm
- South Tyneside – 5.30pm
