Has Geoff Lee resigned from Great Torrington Town Council as well? Yeah, he stood down from that a couple of weeks ago. They are co-opting a replacement. |

I like the idea of selling election results back to the council.

Yes, the election timetable is 28-35 working days. It was increased following the recommendations of the Gould Report into the 2007 elections.

The change was made by the Scottish Local Government Elections Order 2011 (2011 No. 399) which brought in a new version of the Scottish Local Government Elections Rules (Schedule 1). In section 1 the date of 'Publication of notice of election' was moved to "Not earlier than the thirty-fifth day before the date of the poll and not later than the twenty-eighth day before the date of the poll". Previous versions of the rule had said "Not earlier than the twenty eighth day before the date of the poll and not later than the twenty first day before the date of the poll". (Remember that weekends are not included in the calculation of time.) There is a difference between Scotland and England/Wales in that there is no requirement in Scotland for the byelection to be called; the Returning Officer sets the polling day, and the polling day must be within three months from the date of the vacancy. ( s. 37, Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973) |
