Ramsey Commissioners have drawn up a timetable of key dates leading up to polling day in a bid to encourage candidates to take part in the local authority’s election in April.

It starts on March 17 with Notice of Election appearing in the Examiner. Polling day is on April 23.

Nominations will be sought and, subject to the number of candidates nominated, elections will be held to fill 12 seats - six in north ward and six in south. For a timetable ask at the town hall.
