Council Elections

This year’s council elections will open for voting on Monday 8th February at 09:00 GMT and close on Friday 5th March at 17:00.

We have asked Civica Election Services to run the ballot online as before. Hard copy paper ballots will be available for non e-members.

This year we only have a contest in the category of fellow as both the member and associate members categories have a balanced number of candidates to seats and so those individuals will be elected unopposed.
