Elections 2015 - include a figure in your budget


Next year there will be elections. Hopefully if your town or parish council has been active, visible and engaged with your community and done lots of promotional activity you will have plenty of people queueing up to be candidates!

When you do your budgeting process this autumn you will need to include a figure for the costs associated with the election.Talk to your unitary authority, each one has different cost calculations and ask them what figure to include for your share (50%) of the cost of holding an election. Democracy does cost money but it is important to be prepared.
