2025 North Tyneside mayoral election

The 2025 North Tyneside mayoral election was held on 1 May 2025 to elect the Mayor of North Tyneside. This was the mayoralty's first election since the Elections Act 2022 came into effect, and as such this election used first-past-the-post rather than supplementary vote used in previous elections. The incumbent Labour mayor Norma Redfearn, who had held the post since 2013, was not seeking re-election.[1] Labour candidate Karen Clark was elected.[2][3]
