Electoral wards and cycle

The Council has 51 Members and most Wards have three Councillors who are each elected for a four year term of office. This link provides further information on our Councillors.

The Council’s Membership is elected by thirds. Elections are held on a rolling year on year basis for three years out of four.

There are no elections in the fourth year, when County Council elections take place.

Becoming a candidate

Many people choose to stand in local elections as a representative of a political party, but individuals can stand in their own right as an ‘independent’.  Candidates who stand on behalf of a political party will have gone though a formal selection process.

To stand as a councillor you must:

• be aged 18 or over
• live or work in the borough, or own property there.
• not work for Reigate & Banstead Borough Council or hold a politically restricted post at another council.
• not be bankrupt or have been sentenced to prison for three months or more in the past five years
• be nominated and seconded and supported by eight other electors from the ward you want to stand in.

For further information see the Electoral Commission website
