Councillor Vacancy – Penzance East Ward

Published: 18th August 2023 in category: Councillor Vacancy, Penzance

Due to the non attendance of Cllr Michael Benjamin Thomas, we have a casual vacancy for Penzance East Ward.

If you live in the ward (you can check the ward boundaries online) and would like to have a by-election to fill this Councillor Vacancy, you need to request this in writing from the Returning Officer at Cornwall Council by Friday 8 September 2023:

Proper Officer
Electoral Services
4th Floor, South Wing
County Hall
Treyew Road
Truro
TR1 3AY

If at least 10 residents of Penzance East Ward request a by-election by Friday 8 September 2023, this will take place no later than 10 November 2023.

If no requests are received or the number of requests is less than 10, then Penzance Council can co-opt a person onto the Council – find out more about how co-opting works on Cornwall Council’s website.
