Greater Manchester Mayor Election Set

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Andy Burnham, Greater Manchester’s longtime mayor, has just been elected as an MP — leaving the mayoral seat vacant. By law, you can’t hold both roles, especially since the mayor oversees local policing. A new mayoral election is now set for July 30th, with voter registration closing at midnight on July 14th. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority is stepping in to ensure a smooth, fair process — and voters will soon choose the next leader to steer the region’s future.
