Buckinghamshire Councillors and Member of Parliament for Buckingham

There are several layers of government that represent Buckingham and have different responsibilities. As well as the Town Council and our local Member of Parliament, there are six Councillors that represent Buckingham at Buckinghamshire Council which makes decisions for the whole of Buckinghamshire.

Councillors on Outside Organisations

The Council keeps a list of which Councillors are representative of outside organisations.

Interested in becoming a councillor?

Elections usually take place every four years. The timescales, advertising and process of elections is governed by a statutory procedure. All candidates have to be proposed and seconded by electors of the parish.

With a few exceptions you can be a councillor if you are:

  • 18 years of age or over at the date of your nomination
  • a Commonwealth citizen, a citizen of the Republic of Ireland, or a citizen of another member state of the European Community,

and either:

  • a local government elector (voter) for the area of the authority, or
  • have during the whole of the 12 months preceding the day on which you are nominated as a candidate occupied as owner or tenant any land or other premises in the area of the authority, or
  • have your principal or only place of work in the 12 months preceding the day on which you are nominated as a candidate in the area of the authority, or
  • have lived in the area of the authority during the whole of the 12 months preceding the day on which you are nominated as candidate.

Buckinghamshire Council's local democracy service can also provide more information.

Co-option

If an existing Councillor post becomes vacant, the vacancy is advertised for a fixed period of time and – unless ten electors have requested a poll – the vacancy is filled by co-option at a subsequent council meeting.
