GET YOUR NOMINATION IN IF YOU WANT TO STAND IN THE ELECTIONS......

 A FEW WORDS FROM ST EDMUNDSBURY COUNCIL:

Information is now on the West Suffolk Council website regarding the upcoming elections to West Suffolk Council and to Parish and Town Councils: Current vacancies and elections (westsuffolk.gov.uk). The nomination packs and guidance on the completion of nominations can be downloaded from the website.

 A notice of election will be published on 22 March and submission of nomination papers between 23 March and the deadline of 4pm on Tuesday 4 April 2023.

Nomination papers must be hand delivered to West Suffolk House in Bury St Edmunds between the hours of 9am and 5pm on any working day during the nomination period and we will be operating an appointment system to ensure that a Deputy Returning Officer is available to receive the nomination paper. To book an appointment, just send an email to elections@westsuffolk.gov.uk with details of the preferred date and time and the area that nomination papers are being delivered for (i.e. the name of the parish/town) confirmation of the appointment by email. 

Between now and Wednesday 22 March, there is an informal checking service for nomination papers. The informal checks can be undertaken by scanning and emailing a copy of the completed nomination pack to elections@westsuffolk.gov.uk and helps to ensure that any issues or corrections required are resolved before the nomination papers are formally delivered by hand. The aim is to respond to any of these requests by the end of the next working day.
