Wednesday 18th March

This meeting will consider applications from prospective candidates in the May 2026 elections to use one of the descriptions available from TUSC on their local ballot paper. 

The application form is available at https://www.tusc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/2026-Application-form-Cllr.docx (if you are having difficulty opening this link, try copying it into your browser).

To be placed on the agenda for this meeting forms must be received by the TUSC National Election Agent – Clive Heemskerk, at [email protected] – by Saturday 14th March.

There will be a further meeting at the end of March but, with the immovable official deadline to hand in nomination papers being April 9th, (and the legally required Certificate of Authorisation needing to be sent by post, not email, over the Easter holiday) prospective candidates and their agents are strongly advised to send in applications for this earlier one.

For a workers’ Manifesto in the May council elections!
