Candidates for the Devon County Council Elections

In preparation for the May 2025 Devon County Council Elections, and in line with Conservative Party guidance, South Devon Constituency Conservative Association is updating its ‘Approved Local Candidates’ list.

We will be holding a series of approvals panels from September onwards, to create a list of approved candidates for the County Council elections as well as for any possible by-elections across the rest of the constituency. 

If you would like to be considered, we ask that you complete the application form and either email it to [email protected] or post it back to: South Devon Conservatives, Unit 3, 23 Fore Street, Totnes TQ9 5HN

In the list of attachments below are the application form, the procedure for the selection of Local Government Candidates and a guide to becoming a Conservative Councillor.

If you know of anyone else who you think could be a candidate, please encourage them to come forward. Should you need any further advice, please contact us on 01803 866 069

Could you become a councillor?

Becoming a councillor is an extremely rewarding experience. It gives you the opportunity to help your local community and be part of a dedicated team providing key services for your area. Being a councillor is a great way to gain political experience and useful skills in public speaking, debating and problem solving.

New councillors are good news. They mean fresh ideas and fresh enthusiasm, and that will be good for your council.

To be eligible you must be:

  1. A British subject or a citizen of the Irish Republic or the EU and resident in the UK.
  2. At least eighteen years old on the day you are nominated.
  3. Either on the electoral register for the council area in which you are seeking election, or have lived or worked in that council area for at least the last twelve months.
