Could You Be a County Council Candidate in 2026?
We are pleased to announce that the approvals process for Conservative candidates wishing to stand in the 2026 Norfolk and Suffolk County Council elections is now open.
Serving as a county councillor is a rewarding and important role. It gives you the opportunity to represent your community, champion Conservative values, and play a key part in shaping decisions that affect the future of your local area.
Whether you’re an experienced campaigner or someone newly interested in public service, we’re keen to hear from individuals who share our commitment to hard work, personal responsibility, and strong local leadership.
If you’d like to learn more about what’s involved in standing for election as a Conservative candidate, please complete our short expression of interest form below. A member of our team will then get in touch to guide you through the next steps.
If you have already been approved/selected as a candidate for what was originally the 2025 County Council elections, you do not need to fill out this form, as your approved status remains.
