Statement of Persons Nominated for Election
Burnham’s candidates for election to Maldon District Council are on pages 2 & 3.
Candidates for Burnham Town Council, South Ward, are about 3/4s of the way down the document.
There were only three candidates standing for election to the Town Council, North Ward. They were already town councillors and so will remain in office – no election required. Click on the link below for more, and scroll down to the 5th page.
Notice of result of uncontested elections
NOTE:
Only five candidates can be elected to each Burnham ward.
Therefore after the election, Burnham Town Council, which usually has 10 members, will only have eight.
This means that the Town Council may then vote for co-opting local residents onto the council to fill the two vacancies in the north ward.
