Can I stand for election if I am already a councillor of a constituent council?
A person cannot sit as both a combined county authority mayor and a local councillor of a constituent council.1
If they are already an elected councillor and are subsequently elected as mayor, their office as councillor will become vacant.
A constituent council means a county council that is within the combined county authority area, or a unitary district council that is within the combined county authority area.
Equally, if someone stands as a candidate at the same time in both contests and is elected to both offices, their election as councillor will be disregarded and the office of councillor will be deemed to be vacant.2
