Who gets to vote in Community Council elections? I’ve never voted in one and I don’t recall ever being sent a polling card.

Yes all registered voters will get a ballot paper for a postal vote in the community council election for Thurso and any other areas where there are more than enough candidates to fill the positions.

It may be new to many voters as community councils do not always attract enough candidates for an an election to be held. This is the case for most of the Highland community councils once again.
