Contested

A poll will only be held for your area should there be more valid nominations than there are number of vacancies.

Uncontested

Should we receive fewer nominations than there are vacancies then those candidates will be elected uncontested – the Parish Council may then proceed to fill the remaining vacancies by co-option, provided there is a quorum.

If there are not enough valid nominations to make a quorum, then any validly nominated candidates are declared elected uncontested and the Returning Officer shall order a new election to fill any remaining vacancies within 35 working days beginning with the original day of the election.
