A pre-election period will be in force from Friday 24 March 2023 to 10pm Thursday 4 May 2023 prior to the Elmbridge Borough and Claygate Parish elections. For six weeks before an election a pre-election period exists when we are unable to display community posters as we are required to display statutory notices only.
