Election for Mayor
Bedford Borough Council has announced that a Mayoral election
will take place on Thursday 15th October 2009, following
the sad death of Bedford’s first directly elected Mayor, Frank
Branston.
The election will give all voters across

appointed as the new Mayor.
Polling stations will be open throughout the
borough from 7am to 10pm.
The voting count will take place at the
Bedford Corn Exchange on Friday 16th October.
The appointment will last until May 2011 when
the Mayor and all councillors will be up for election.
Nominations for candidates who wish to stand
as Mayor can be submitted between the 10th and noon on
18th September.
Nomination papers and other information about
the election will be available on the Council’s website http://www.bedford.gov.uk/.
