Interim elections for community councils 

Nominations are being invited from people seeking election to 9 community councils in the Highlands for:

• Cawdor and West Nairnshire Community Council
• Castletown Community Council
• Dunvegan Community Council
• Grantown on Spey Community Council 
• Hilton, Milton and Castle Heather Community Council
• Laggan Community Council
• Muir of Ord Community Council
• Staffin Community Council
• Strathpeffer Community Council

The deadline for receiving all nominations is 4pm on Wednesday, 30 May 2018 and elections will take place on Thursday 28 June 2018.

The need to hold interim elections has come about due to the resignation of some members which have brought the community councils down to below half of their memberships.

To stand for election candidates must be entered in the current Electoral Register for the Community Council area.

Nomination forms and copies of the scheme for the establishment of Community Councils can be:

• downloaded from the ‘Community Councils’ section of Highland Council website at www.highland.gov.uk/elections 
• obtained on request, by e-mail to elections@highland.gov.uk, or
