Briefing for election candidates and agents

Date

Will you be standing as a candidate or acting as an agent at the forthcoming elections in May 2024?

If so, come along to one of the briefings that will be held virtually on Microsoft Teams on either:

  • Wednesday 6 March 2024 at 7pm; or
  • Monday 11 March 2024 at 7pm

Due to the changes imposed through the Elections Act and the move to all out-district council elections, you are strongly encouraged to attend, even if you have attended previous such briefings in recent years/elections.

The briefing will include essential information, such as:

  • key dates
  • what the Election Act changes mean for you
  • the election timetable
  • nominations – how to correctly complete the form
  • registration and absent votes
  • postal vote opening
  • polling day (including Voter ID and other changes from the Elections Act)
  • verification / counting
  • candidate expenses returns

To book a place, please email elections@north-herts.gov.uk with your:

  • name
  • role (i.e. candidate or agent and, if you are an agent, who you will be representing)
  • contact telephone number

Please forward this message to anyone who is interested in standing in the elections this May.

For more information please email elections@north-herts.gov.uk or call us on 01462 474503.
