Elections

We are responsible for compiling the electoral register for Erewash as well as organising all elections within the borough, such as the election of borough councillors, parish councillors, county councillors, MPs and MEPs and administering referendums and mayoral elections.

Elections

We have 51 councillors who represent particular areas known as wards. There are currently 22 wards returning one, two or three councillors, depending on the number of electors living in an area.
