The 2025 Hull and East Yorkshire mayoral election will be held on the 1st of May, 2025 to elect the inaugural mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, on the same day as other local elections across the country. The mayor will be elected using first past the post.
Background
The election covers the ceremonial county of East Riding of Yorkshire, which is governed by two councils: East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Hull City Council. Those councils will remain in place, with some powers being transferred to the new mayor.
Electoral system
The election will use the voting system of first past the post to elect the mayor, in this system the candidate with the most votes wins. The Electoral Reform Society described the move towards first past the post as one lowering the bar for politicians and thus damaging British democracy.
Candidates
Anne Handley, the leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, is the Conservative Party's candidate for mayor.
Mike Ross, the leader of Hull City Council, was announced as the Liberal Democrat candidate for mayor in November 2024.
