LOCAL ELECTIONS
A voter at the Jovial Monk polling station two years ago After a year like no other, today will see a local elections in Swindon like no other. Anyone going to a polling station to vote in person might be advised to pack a small bag. They will be asked to take their own pen or pencil to use to cast their vote and will be required to wear a face covering at all times inside the polling station. It might take some time to get into the station itself. There will be a limit on the number of people inside at any one time – and access will be on a one in, one out basis.
Get ready for polling day Last year was the first year since 2013 when there was no election in Swindon. But to make up for a missed year, there are at least two, and for some, three elections in one go this year. Every ward in Swindon will be electing candidates to Swindon Borough Council this year. It should have been a year off for Chiseldon and Lawn but the recent death of deputy Mayor Brian Mattock has forced a by-election. There are also elections for the Police and Crime Commissioner for Swindon and Wiltshire and there are elections in nine of Swindon’s parish councils - Bishopstone, Blunsdon, Central Swindon North, Covingham, Haydon Wick, Liddington, St Andrews, Wanborough and Nythe, Eldene & Liden.
Plenty of votes to be cast as Swindon elects a new PCC, borough and parish councillors swindonadvertiser.co.uk - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from swindonadvertiser.co.uk Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
