DAPTC members can use the generic toolkit and have it updated with their own logo or name ahead of issuing it to councillors wishing to re-stand or potential new candidates.
The election toolkit is useful as an aide memoire for Clerks and their teams as well as new councillors and those wishing to re-stand in May 2027 for the BCP area and in May 2029 for the Dorset Council area.
This is an interactive PDF document best viewed online as it contains links to provide additional information. Printing the document is not as useful.
Dorset Council Area Elections Toolkit Final - the document for the BCP local elections scheduled for 6th May 2027 is currently being updated and will be published here in due course.
Member councils can add their logo to the document and any other information specific to their councils.
The original toolkit was produced with the Election Team at Dorset Council.
