Having received a written request from TEN eligible electors from the Parish Area, the Proper Officer can confirm that a poll for the by-election to fill the vacancy on South Mimms Parish Council must be held in accordance with The Local Election (Parishes and Communities)(England and Wales) Rules 2006. These rules specify that an election is to be held within 60 days of receiving the said request.
