Potential candidates for the Hampshire County Council elections and for any by-elections for East Hampshire District Council are asked to attend the online meetings. 

The first briefing will be held at 10am on Wednesday 3 March, using Microsoft Teams, and will help candidates and their agents through the nomination process and explain how elections will be run in accordance with coronavirus safety guidelines. 

The second briefing will be held 3pm on Monday 19 April, again using Microsoft Teams, and will go through polling stations, polling day and the count.
