Poundstock Parish Council Elections

The next Poundstock Parish Council elections will be held in May 2025.
Parish Councillors serve a four-year term, with the last elections taking place in May 2021.

How to Become a Parish Councillor

If you are interested in serving your community, you can stand as a candidate in the local elections. You do not need to be affiliated with a political party—you can stand as an Independent candidate or without any description next to your name. If you do wish to represent a political party, you will need to go through their selection process before being nominated. More information and support for Independent candidates can be found here: https://www.local.gov.uk/be-councillor/contact-us.

  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Be a registered voter in the area or have lived, worked, or owned property within three miles of the parish for at least 12 months before nomination
  • Be a British or Commonwealth citizen, or a citizen of any EU member state

You are not eligible to stand if you:

  • Are employed by the council you wish to represent (you may work for a different local authority as long as you are not in a politically restricted role)
  • Are subject to a bankruptcy restrictions order or interim order
  • Have received a prison sentence of three months or more (including suspended sentences) within the five years before election day
  • Have been convicted of a corrupt or illegal practice by an election court
