Don’t forget to cast BOTH your votes on Thursday
Just thee days to go until polling day, until you can elect the councillors who will represent YOU on Hastings Borough Council.
And don’t forget you have TWO votes to cast at this election. Each of the 16 wards that make up the borough has two councillors and because there have been some changes to the boundaries in the borough all 32 councillors are up for election.
So that means you should vote for two candidates on Thursday. They don’t have to be from the same party so you might choose to vote for a Labour candidate and a Conservative one, or for a Liberal Democrat candidate and a Green candidate, the choice is entirely yours.
The candidate who secures the highest number of votes in each ward will serve on the council for four years, while the candidate who comes second will hold their council seat for just two years and will face the electorate again in 2020.
If you are having any difficulty making up you mind who to vote for we thought we’d put all the information we have gathered over the last few weeks together in one place so here you are, sit back and enjoy, consider you options and make your choice…
