Standing as a member of a political party
If you wish to stand as a candidate for a political party at the council elections, you must be a member of their local party. You must contact the local party for information on how to join their organisation and how they select members of their party to be candidates at an election.

Nomination period
To become an election candidate, you have to complete and submit a nomination paper to the Returning Officer during the nomination period of the election. You will need to find 2 people, 1 to propose you (a nomination) and the other to second the nomination.
