Under legislation, local authorities are required to undertake a representation review at least every six years.
For local government elections, the process really begins with the establishment of representation arrangements – the governance structure of the Council and how members are elected - well before the election itself kicks off.
As an independent business we're in a unique position to provide you with the best assistance with this process.
