Casual Vacancies
What is a casual vacancy?
If a councillor leaves their seat during the course of their term, a casual vacancy occurs.
This could be due to one of the following:
- the resignation of a councillor
- the death of a councillor
- the disqualification (or ceasing to be qualified) of a councillor
- a failure to take up office
