Upcoming Council Elections 2019
When are the North Somerset Council Elections?
Elections to North Somerset Council and every Town/Parish Council within North Somerset will take place on Thursday 2 May 2019. All seats on all councils will be subject to the election process.
Apart from the chairman and vice-chairman, your current councillors will remain in office until the fourth day after the election day of 2 May, when they will retire and the new councillors will take office.
Your chairman will remain (even if he/she does not seek re-election) until after a new chairman has been elected at the annual meeting of your council following the election; and your vice-chairman will also remain in office until the new chairman has been elected. Again, this applies even if he/she does not seek re-election.
