6. How do I go about getting elected?
Briefly, you need to meet the criteria in the previous pages and be able to gain 2 signatures from registered electors in the ward in which you wish to stand, in support of your nomination. Everything is done to a strict legislative timetable.
For some general information about the electoral process and to find out when the next elections are due, view the Elections and voting page.
A 'Candidate's Guide' can be found in the Electoral Commission website.
