This Legal Topic Note explains matters relating to elections, both ordinary and casual, and the co-option of local councillors. The Local Elections (Parishes and Communities) (England and Wales) Rules 2006 ("the 2006 Rules") applies to the election of councillors to a parish or community council. Elections are run by the principal authority and there is no role for a local council in relation to ordinary elections. Read the LTN for further details.
