There are probably 9 by-elections during February, 7 already identified
to be held in March and a further 21 vacancies where there is no date as
yet for the by-election.
There is also an election called and
two pending for the Common Council of the Corporation of London. As the
Council is non-partisan I do not include it in my list of elections and
vacancies.
