Summary
Greater Manchester’s mayoral by-election is heating up—set for July 30th after outgoing mayor Andy Burnham jumped to Parliament, triggering a fast-track race. Candidates must declare by July 3, voters register by July 14, and postal/proxy applications close July 15/22. The twist? A return to the supplementary vote system—where voters pick first and second choices, forcing a runoff if no one hits 50%—designed to ensure broader support. All ten boroughs are voting, and results drop July 30th. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
