Voting and elections

This section provides information on how to register to vote, who is eligible to vote and how to vote when you are registered. It also includes information on past elections and the results

We have one By-election taking place for Chapel Parish Council (Chapel West Ward) on Thursday 7th May 2026.

There are no other elections scheduled for High Peak Borough Council on Thursday 7th May 2026. 

This year is what's known as a fallow year for High Peak Borough Council, which means we don't have any scheduled elections taking place on 7 May 2026. This is part of the normal local election cycle. Our next scheduled elections are due to take place in May 2027. You may see/have seen information online or in the media about elections in neighbouring areas and be wondering why there's nothing about elections here. This is completely normal, as different areas vote in different years.
