How to put your name forward

Community councils will continue to meet as usual during the election process.

Anyone wishing to represent their community council must be 16 years of age, reside in the community council area and be named on the electoral register for the community council area in which they are standing.

Candidates must provide a proposer and seconder who should also be named on the electoral register and reside in the same community council area.

Completed nomination forms, together with a supporting 50-word statement, must be submitted to the returning officer at the address below or by email to communitycouncils@ pkc.gov.uk by 4pm on Thursday, September 22.

Nomination forms and copies of the Scheme of Establishment of Community Councils can be downloaded from the PKC’s website at www. pkc.gov.uk/ communitycouncils.

They can also be requested from the returning officer at 2 High Street, Perth, PH1 5PH.
