Sussex and Surrey 2026 local election counting under way
Votes are being counted on both Sussex county councils, plus some boroughs and districts, two new authorities in Surrey and Tunbridge Wells Borough Council.
www.bbc.co.ukI can’t reliably give you the latest West Sussex election results right now because I don’t have access to live/updated sources for this exact query in this moment.
What I can tell you from the most recent item I was able to view is that Sussex local elections counting was underway (BBC live coverage) as of 8 May 2026. Another live roundup-style page also showed results for parts of the wider Sussex/South region around 7 May 2026, including “West Sussex” being part of the same local-results coverage bundle, but it’s not clear from what I saw which specific West Sussex contest(s) you mean.[1][5]
Quick check: which “West Sussex election”?
Reply with one of these and I’ll summarize what’s been reported:
- West Sussex County Council election (or “county council”)
- a specific borough/district (e.g., Adur, Crawley, Worthing, Chichester, Horsham)
- a by-election (tell me the division/ward name)
If you paste the link you’re looking at (or the contest name/date), I’ll extract the key results (seat counts, majorities, and any party gains/losses).
