Are you planning on standing as a candidate or acting as an agent at the forthcoming Hertfordshire County Council elections in May 2025 for any of these county divisions:
- Bishop’s Stortford East
- Bishop’s Stortford Rural
- Bishop’s Stortford West
- Buntingford
- Hertford All Saints
- Hertford Rural
- Hertford St Andrews
- Sawbridgeworth
- Ware North
- Ware South
If so, you are invited to a briefing being held at the East Herts Council offices or virtually via Microsoft Teams on Wednesday 12 March 2025 at 6pm.
As the Elections Act 2022 has made changes to both the nomination process and how electors vote, you are therefore 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 electors@eastherts.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
- whether you would like to attend in person or on Teams.
Please forward this message to anyone who is interested in standing at the elections in May.
For more information please email electors@eastherts.gov.uk or call us on 01279 655261.
