Vacant seats on the parish council
There are currently two vacant seats on Dodderhill Parish Council, for the Dodderhill ward.
Wychavon District Council has confirmed that a by-election will be held on Thursday 21st November, if more than two candidates are nominated to fill the vacant seats.
If only two candidates come forward, they will both be elected unopposed and no election will be needed. Whereas if three or more candidates come forward, the two candidates who poll the most votes on 21st November will be elected.
The next step in the process is publication by Wychavon District Council of the Notice of Election, which will be published on 17th October. This means that from 18th October until the close of nominations at 4pm on Friday 25th October, candidates will be able to submit their nomination forms to the Wychavon District Council offices in Pershore.
