Residents in Cornwall won't be voting in local elections today, even though 4,851 council seats are contested elsewhere. The Cornwall Council election occurred last May to elect 87 councillors, as there is no uniform national timetable. Your next chance to vote for a neighbourhood councillor in Cornwall will be in 2029, four years after the last one.
