By-election in Barnoldswick Ward
Published Tuesday, 4th November 2025
A by-election is taking place in Barnoldswick Ward on Thursday 27 November after the resignation of Mick Strickland.
Andrea Mullin, Elections and Registration Manager for Pendle Borough Council, said: “Poll cards will be sent to all registered voters in the Ward.
“Anyone who would like to register to vote to have their say in this election must do so by midnight on Tuesday 11 November.
“It’s quick and easy to register to vote online at www.gov.uk/registertovote
“Alternatively you can call our Elections Team on (01282) 661662 or 661919.”
Other key deadlines:
- Apply for a postal vote - 5pm on Wednesday 12 November
- Appoint a proxy – 5pm Wednesday 19 November
- Apply for a Voter Authority Certificate (if you don’t have an accepted form of photo ID) – 5pm Wednesday 19 November
Andrea added: “Having a postal vote or sending someone else to the polling station as a proxy to vote on your behalf means you can still have your say in elections.
“To vote in person at a polling station you will need to take some form of photo ID with you, such as a passport or driving licence.
“Anyone without an accepted form of photo ID can apply for a Voter Authority Certificate.”
