Full list of candidates for Notts local elections in May

By Lauren Monaghan, Junior Local Democracy Reporter

---

The full list of candidates for the Nottinghamshire County Council election on May 1 has been published.

All 66 seats at the currently Conservative-led authority are open to the May poll.

The council’s composition is currently 34 Conservatives – as the majority – 15 Labour councillors, 15 councillors in the Independent Group, one Reform councillor and one Independent member.

Parties will need 34 members to take overall charge at the new Oak House, near Linby.

The poll is likely to be the last-ever Nottingamshire County Council election in its current format due to ongoing Government reform which is due to see local councils overhauled to create new “strategic authorities” and new combined councils between 2027 and 2028.

Voters will be required to have voter ID when turning up to the polls, such as a passport or driving licence- more details on voter ID can be found on the Electoral Commission website.

Applications to register to vote must reach the Electoral Registration Officer by midnight on Friday April 11.

Applications to vote by proxy must be made by 5pm on Wednesday, April 23.

Polling station locations can be found at https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/voter/your-election-information.

The full list of candidates standing in the election is as follows.
