Be a councillor

As we approach the county council elections in May 2025, we aim to raise awareness of the important role of a councillor. We want to encourage Lancashire residents to consider this rewarding role. Our Elections website contains all the information about the county council's election and results.

Be A Councillor Website

There is a dedicated website, containing all the information potential candidates will need. It contains a video highlighting the role of a councillor, an FAQ section and details of key dates they will need to know about.
