Guidance for Candidates at Parish council elections in England

Can I stand as a candidate at both a parish council and the election to the principal council?

Yes, provided you meet the qualifications for both, you can stand for election at a parish council election at the same time as standing for election at a principal council election, such as an election to the district or county.

More details can be found in our guidance for standing as a candidate at local government elections in England.
