Parish Councillors

Elton Parish Council has ten elected councillors. They are either elected when the four-yearly elections take place or are elected at a by-election (an election which takes place outside of the normal four yearly interval) or are co-opted.
A by-election can happen if a vacancy on the council happens (perhaps because a councillor has resigned, been disqualified or dies) and more than 10 electors in the parish request that the vacancy is filled by calling an election.
A co-option happens if there is a vacancy and a by-election is not called for, the parish council have to fill a vacant seat.
The parish council currently have a full compliment of councillors.
Councillors represent the community they serve. At this level of local government that do not receive any money for carrying out their duties.
