8 Members of the European Parliament to be elected

8 Members of the European Parliament to be elected

8 Members of the European Parliament to be elected

                          

Although I wrote a blog post about the notice of election for twenty-three Wirral Council councillors about a week ago I haven’t yet written about the notice of election for the eight Members of the European Parliament held on the same day.

Below is the notice of election for the European elections. The constituency for a MEP is the whole of the North West of England which is millions of people who could vote in the election. Also candidates wishing to stand in the European elections have to find a deposit of £5,000. I presume (as in General Elections) the deposit is refundable if those candidates get x% of the vote.

NORTH WEST ELECTORAL REGION

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT:

1. An election is to be held for EIGHT members of the European Parliament for the NORTH WEST Electoral Region.

2. If the election is contested the poll will take place on THURSDAY 22 MAY 2014.

3. Nomination papers are to be delivered to the Regional Returning Officer for the North West, Room 134, Town Hall, Manchester, between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM from TUESDAY 15 APRIL 2014 to THURSDAY 17 APRIL 2014 and between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM from TUESDAY 22 APRIL 2014 to THURSDAY 24 APRIL 2014. Forms of nomination papers may also be obtained at that place, during those times.

4. The deposit for each registered political party or individual candidate, being the sum of £5000, can only be made by the deposit of legal tender or by means of a banker’s draft (banks operating in the United Kingdom or Gibraltar only), at the place and during the time for delivery of nomination papers. No other method of making a deposit will be available.

5. Applications to be included in the register of electors or for postal or proxy voting must be made to the relevant Electoral Registration Officer for the applicant’s area. Further information can be found at www.aboutmyvote.co.uk or www.northwestvotes.gov.uk.

6. Applications to be included in the register of electors must reach the relevant Electoral Registration Officer by TUESDAY 6 MAY 2014, if they are to be effective for the election.

23 Wirral councillors to be elected after Tony Cox resigns; Graham Burgess fires starting gun in local election race

23 Wirral councillors to be elected after Tony Cox resigns; Graham Burgess fires starting gun in local election race

23 Wirral councillors to be elected after Tony Cox resigns; Graham Burgess fires starting gun in local election race

                                

On Monday Wirral Council’s Returning Officer started the election process by publishing the Notice of Election (a copy of it is below). Each ward in Wirral will be electing one councillor, except voters in Greasby, Franky & Irby ward who will be electing two councillors and therefore have two votes in the upcoming local elections.

The reason for this is that Tony Cox has resigned. As Tony Cox was less than two years through a four year term of office you may wonder why? The reason is that he’s been picked as the Conservative candidate for the General Election in Newcastle-under-Lyme and he felt that he couldn’t put his full energies into that without resigning as a councillor for Greasby, Frankby & Irby ward. The two Conservative candidates in Greasby, Frankby & Irby ward this year will be Councillor Wendy Clements and Tom Anderson. Tom Anderson was previously a councillor in Upton ward from 2008 to 2012 (with the lowest majority I remember in recent years of only four votes).

The full notice of election is below.
