ASPIRING politicians who are thinking about standing at this year’s city or parish council elections have been invited to an online briefing session.
The event will give prospective candidates – and their potential agents – all the essential information they need to know about the elections.
It will be held at 6pm on March 13 and aspiring candidates and agents must book in advance.
The briefing will run through essentials like how to complete nomination papers, how postal votes work, the new voter ID rules and many other important matters.
There will also be a West Mercia Police officer on hand to discuss the dangers of electoral fraud.
This year’s Worcester City Council elections will take place on May 4.
Eleven City Council seats will be contested, in the Arboretum, Bedwardine, Cathedral, Claines, Nunnery, St Clement, St John, St Peter’s, St Stephen, Warndon Parish North and Warndon Parish South wards.
There are also vacancies in St Peter’s and Warndon parish councils and, depending on the number of candidates who are nominated, elections for these could be held on 4 May alongside the City Council polls.
