By-Election Watch (19/07/10)

Here's our current list of by-elections. I'll preview this weeks on Wednesday. Although I don't usually cover District Council elections I'll be making an exception for the by-elections taking place in Exeter and Norwich. The high court ruled that the 13 Councillors, whose terms were extended whilst a decision was taken on whether to give the Councils Unitary status, are ineligible and will face the voters later in the year. I'll have a closer look at both Councils nearer to the election.
