Community Council By-Elections 15 January 2026

The nomination period has now closed for the Council Council By-Elections being held within the Bute and Cowal, Helensburgh and Lomond; Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands; and Oban, Lorn and the Isles areas in respect of vacancies on 7 community councils (Dunoon, Luss and Arden, Ardrishaig, Campbeltown, Furnace, South Knapdale and Mull)

The Timetable for the by-election lists the key dates. The Nomination period closed on Thursday 20 November 2025

There were fewer candidates than vacant positions for each of the 7 participating community councils resulting in uncontested elections.  The candidates set out within the Notices of Uncontested Elections below will be elected as of 15 January 2026 (although in some cases may already be serving currently as co-opted members).  

The next scheduled elections for community councils will be full elections which will take place on 20 August 2026.  More information will be available at that time but if you are interested in becoming a community councillor, please see our community council webpage for more information.  You could also contact community council support staff by email mailto:communitycouncils@argyll-bute.gov.uk  or by telephone - 01546 604338.
