Casual vacancy notices
If a Councillor leaves their seat during the course of their term, a casual vacancy occurs.
This could be due to:
- the resignation of a councillor;
- the death of a councillor;
- the disqualification (or ceasing to be qualified) of a councillor; or,
- a failure to take up office.
Current vacancy notices
Please note: Vacancy notices must be published and displayed separately as there is no provision in law to combine them. Any registered elector wishing to request an election for a vacancy must state which vacant seat it is for.
