Doncaster mayoral race 2025: When will we know the result?

12 candidates are in the race – and polling stations will be open from 7am to 10pm, with voters also choosing new councillors for City of Doncaster Council.

But when will we find out who’s won?

Counting for the mayoral race will begin immediately when the polling stations close at 10pm.

A result is expected around 5am – when we should discover who voters have chosen to be the next mayor of Doncaster.

However, counting in the council elections won’t take place until the following day – with declarations expected throughout the late morning and early afternoon – with the final ward expected to be called at around 3pm.

All times are predicted and may change throughout the course of the evening and following day.

The Free Press will be keeping you updated as the results come in throughout tonight and tomorrow.
