Local Election Example Ballot

This is an example of a ballot paper for the 2026 local elections.
In this case, the ballot is for a three-member ward, meaning you can vote for up to three candidates. The number of councillors elected may vary depending on the area, so the number of Xs you can mark will also vary.
Always follow the instructions printed on the ballot paper, as they will tell you exactly how many candidates you can vote for.
