大曼彻斯特市民于1月16日参与英国政治史上规模最大的补选，超过200万合格选民投票1。此次补选使用补充投票制进行1，获胜者将掌控年度预算达30亿英镑的市长职位，权力范围涵盖住房、卫生、警务和交通等关键领域1。
工党候选人贝夫·克雷格在民调中处于领先位置，根据More in Common的调查数据，其支持率领先改革英国党候选人西安·阿斯特利约20个百分点1，分析人士预期克雷格将以较大优势赢得选举1。绿党在上一次大曼彻斯特市长选举中获得7%的选票1。补选结果预计将在周五下午公布1。
该补选由安迪·伯纳姆于2024年赢得Makerfield补选而空缺触发1。
Voting commenced in Greater Manchester's mayoral byelection, with over 2 million eligible voters participating in what represents the largest byelection in British political history 1. The race features Labour's Bev Craig competing against Reform UK's Sian Astley, with polling data from More in Common showing Craig holding a commanding 20-percentage-point lead 1. Results are expected to be announced on Friday afternoon 1.
The byelection was triggered following Andy Burnham's successful victory in the Makerfield byelection in 2024 1. The Greater Manchester mayor position carries substantial authority, controlling an annual budget of £3 billion and overseeing portfolios including housing, health, policing, and transport 1. The voting will employ the supplementary voting system 1, and turnout is anticipated to fall below the 32 percent recorded during the 2024 mayoral election 1. In that previous contest, Labour secured victory while Greens captured 7 percent of the vote 1.
