By-Election Watch (20/06/11)

Here are this week's changes to the by-election page:

Council	Type	Ward	Defending Party	Reason	Date
Carmarthenshire	Wales	Llanegwad	Independent	Disqualified	23rd June
Gwynedd	Wales	Glyder	Plaid Cymru	Death	21st July
Wokingham	Unitary	Reneham, Wargrave & Ruscombe	Conservative	Resigned	21st July
Harrow	London	Stanmore Park	Conservative	Resigned	28th July
Warrington	Metro.	Poulton North	Lib Dem	Resigned	28th July

Although no many new vacancies have arisen during the last week we do have a few more dates set. A by-election taking place in Wales this week has been identified. We missed one last week in Wrexham so we couldn't provide a preview and the vacancy in Carmarthenshire almost suffered the same fate. I guess this is a good time to remind our readers that if you know of by-election coming up in you local area and it's not on our list* the chances are we, and the other websites providing similar information, don't know about it. So send us an e-mail, tweet us @BritainVotes or leave a comment on the by-election page to make sure it's covered!

* As a rule we don't cover Parish/Town Council elections. Some District Council by-elections are hard enough to find information on!
