Local Elections 2007.
2007 IS A LOCAL ELECTION YEAR
You
may be wondering why we are doing an article on this so early in the year,
the reason is (a bit like Christmas) there are only about 60 days and 2 newsletters
before the start of the process and there is a lot to fit in. We will be
doing an article each month running up to the actual election date of 3 May
2007, starting with the key dates of the Election Timetable;
*Notice of Election – Tuesday 27 March 2007 – This will be displayed
locally by this date.
*Close of Nominations – noon Wednesday 4 April 2007
(not even a minute
after noon!).
North Somerset Council Elections Office can then let you know who is standing
in your parish.
*Publication of Statement of Persons Nominated – noon Tuesday 10 April
2007
*Close of Withdrawals – noon Wednesday 11 April 2007
*Notice of Poll – Wednesday 25 April 2007 – This will be displayed
locally before this date.
*Absent Votes – Anyone who is on the register can have a postal vote for
no reason, either for an indefinite period, just for this election (helpful if
you are on holiday) or away for a period of time (useful for students in temporary
accommodation). For details of how to secure Absent Voting Forms please contact
North Somerset Council Election Office. Last date for this is 18 April 2007
*Election Expenses – These must be signed and returned to the North Somerset
Council, Elections Office, by the relevant date; Thursday 7 June 2007 if the
result of the poll was called before midnight on Election Day, or if called after
midnight the return date is Friday 8 June 2007 - even if the balance is nil.
Finally we wish to reiterate the importance of checking all of these dates with
North Somerset Council’s democratic services team or election office after
31st January 2007 or going to the Electoral Commission’s web site on this
date.
Further information can be found on the North Somerset Council website.
