2022-23 local government by-elections

[Deleted]

[carolus]

Staffordshire, Biddulph North will be on 19 January, as will a double byelection for Staffordshire Moorlands, Biddulph West.

[The Bishop]

The latter must surely be the last of the 2019 vacancies to be voted on before May?

Dec 13, 2022 11:05:42 GMT The Bishop said:

The latter must surely be the last of the 2019 vacancies to be voted on before May?

There are ten more that I think could be called, where the vacancy occurred before the six month cutoff - Central Bedfordshire, Chelmsford, Dartford, High Peak (x2), Lancaster (x2), Melton, Waverley, and West Suffolk. However many of those have now been pending for some time without the election actually being called.
