Standing as a member of a political party
If you wish to stand as a candidate for a political party at the council elections, you must be a member of their local party. You must contact the local party for information on how to join their organisation and how they select members of their party to be candidates at an election.

The availability of meeting rooms at any of the venues is dependent on pre-existing bookings.
Future Elections
The following elections are scheduled to take place in the next 4 years:
| Election date | Election type |
|---|---|
| 2023 | There are no scheduled elections in Haringey in 2023, however, a by-election will take place in Hermitage and Garden Ward on 29 June 2023 |
| Thursday 2 May 2024 | Mayor of London and London Assembly elections |
| Thursday 7 May 2026 | Local Council Elections |
Next general election
The date of the next general election has not yet been announced.
Following the repeal of the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011, the new Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act 2022 gives the latest date parliament can dissolve as “the beginning of the day that is the fifth anniversary of the day on which it first met”.
The current government first met on 17 December 2019, so the fifth anniversary of that date is 17 December 2024. The election will need to be held 25 working days after that date - this would be January 2025.
