Community Council By-Elections – Thursday 24 October 2024

By-Elections were held to fill vacancies on Kilfinan, Sandbank and Garelochhead Community Councils.

The closing date for nominations was 5 September.  If a community council received less nominations than there were vacancies a poll (voting) does not need to take place.

The notice of uncontested election below lists any community councils where nominations were received and in which case, the candidates for whom polling does not need to take place.  On 24 October 2024, those candidates will formally become Community Councillors for their local Community Council.   Click on the notices below to view details of the successful candidates.
