The election will take place on Wednesday 8 January 2020 between 10am and 1.30pm in Committee Room 8. The election is governed by Standing Order No. 2A. The candidates are listed in alphabetical order. Each entry gives the candidate’s name and the side of the House they come from.

  • Notice of Motion on Women in Politics
    County Council 16 February 2018 Agenda Item 6 – Notice of Motion by Ms Lord Women in Politics - Briefing Note 2018 marks a series of important anniversaries that have helped to shape democracy in the UK. These are: February 2018 – 100th anniversary of the Representation of the People Act 1918, which enabled all men and some women over the age of 30 to vote for the first time; April 2018 – 60th anniversary of the Life Peerages Act 1958, which allowed women to sit in the House of Lords; July 2018 – 90th Anniversary of the Representation of the People (Equal Franchise) Act 1928, which gave women the right to vote at age 21 on the same terms as men; November 2018 – 100th anniversary of the Parliament (Qualification of Women) Act 1918, allowing women to stand for election to the House of Commons; and December 2018 – 100th anniversary of all men and some women voting for the first time, in the general election of December 1918. In the 2017 Budget the Chancellor announced a £5m fund to mark the centenary of the Representation of the People Act. The Chancellor said: “It is important that we not only celebrate next year’s centenary but also that we educate young people about its significance. It was the decisive step in the political emancipation of women in this country and this money will go to projects to mark its significance and remind us all how important it was.” As part of this the Houses of Parliament have launched a Vote100 project which will provide a series of events and exhibitions to engage the public with Parliament and enhance the understanding of the struggle for the vote.
