Mayor of London and Assembly Members elections
Thursday 5 May 2016
These elections give Londoners the opportunity to decide who the next Mayor of London and Assembly Members will be.
The Mayor of London is responsible for making London a better place for everyone who visits, lives or works in the city. The London Assembly acts as the eyes and ears of Londoners at City Hall. It holds the Mayor to account by examining his or her strategies, decisions and actions to make sure they are in the public interest.
