Parish council elections

Parish council elections will also take place within the Borough and be held jointly with the Great Yarmouth Borough Council elections on Thursday 4 May 2023.

For all elections we publish:

After the closing date for nominations, an election will take place if there are more valid candidates than vacancies. 

The week before an election we will publish the:

There will be publicised dates of when registration, postal votes and proxy vote applications must be received - these will form part of the election timetable as detailed above.
