2017 council appointment
Ward 6 fell vacant mid-term and council filled it by appointment rather than by a by-election. Nobody voted.
This was not an election. Ward 6 became vacant during the 2014–2018 term and was filled by council appointment rather than a by-election. 32 people applied and council selected one of them. There was no ballot and no electorate, so nobody on this page won or lost a vote. An applicant who was not chosen did not lose an election, because there was not one.
The City's own document is headed “List of Candidates for Appointment”, which is why these applications are recorded here alongside the electoral record.
