The full line-up of candidates standing in the Mansfield District Mayoral and Mansfield District Council and Warsop Parish Council elections, on Thursday 4 May, has been confirmed.
Five candidates will contest the Mayoral election, the sixth to be held in the District.
They are:
Andy Abrahams (Labour)
Mick Barton (Mansfield Independents)
Julie Tasker (Independent)
Andre Camileri (Conservative)
Karen Seymour (Trade Union and Socialist Coalition)
There will be a booklet sent to every registered voter in the district - more than 80,000 people - giving details of all the candidates in the Mayoral election. This is something the council has to produce by law for each registered voter. It should be delivered by 21 April.
The deadlines to register to vote and for a postal vote have now passed but the deadline for making new applications to vote by proxy is 5pm on Tuesday 25 April (except for medical emergencies or emergencies where a person has been called away as a result of their occupation, service or employment).
Polling stations are open from 7am to 10pm on 4 May. The Mayoral and District counts will take place the following day Friday 5 May and the results will be published on the council's website and social media accounts as they are announced. The results will also be live streamed on the council’s Facebook page.
Residents can find details of their polling stations, which may be different to where they have voted previously, on their poll cards.
Adam Hill, CEO and Returning Officer for Mansfield District Council, said: "With only a few days left to register to vote in these elections, we urge residents in the district to not delay if they would like to have their say on the future direction of the council."
