Three by-elections to be held on Thursday 6 March

Following the resignations of three city councillors in recent weeks, we can today (Thursday 30 January) confirm that three by-elections will take place on Thursday 6 March.

These are in the wards of Herne and Broomfield, St Stephen’s and Gorrell. The notice of election has been published today.

The now former councillors who resigned are (in ward order as above) Joe Howes, Elizabeth Carr-Ellis and Stephen Wheeler.

The link above also contains all the information voters in these wards need to know, such as key deadline dates for registering to vote if you are not already registered, postal/proxy vote applications and voter authority certificate applications.

Authorised voter identification will be required for anyone voting in person at a polling station.

Polling stations will be open between the normal hours of 7am and 10pm on Thursday 6 March.

The counts will then take place on Friday 7 March.
