Spring 2026 Local Elections: Whats next?

A good election campaign doesn’t end on election day. This webinar will take stock and look at what next. We’ll look at developing a plan for following-up with and continuing your relationship with your elected candidates around your asks and for further building on the power and relationships you’ve built in your community. Recent elections have also often seen a complete shift of parties in power so we’ll help you to strategise if you’re in areas that have seen similar shifts. 

About the webinar

This session will be a mixture of information sharing and participation, where we can collectively reflect on the outcomes of the elections and plan for what next.
