By-Elections and Casual Vacancies

By-elections occur if an elected County or Community Councillor resigns, dies or fails to attend meetings.

When the seat becomes vacant, a local by-election will be called if an election is requested by two electors registered to vote in the local area.

You will be notified of any by-elections in your area with an official poll card posted through your door. When you vote, the person with the highest number of votes will be elected.
