Stand for election

 

Be a councillor

Could you be a councillor?

If you are passionate about your local community, consider becoming a councillor to make a difference.

We need people from all backgrounds and experiences who can reflect the neighbourhoods they would serve.

Councillors represent the 25 wards that make up Rotherham. Full elections are held in all wards every four years. The next scheduled elections will take place on Thursday 4 May 2028.

Councillors act as community leaders in their wards and neighbourhoods.

Being a councillor is something that requires dedication and commitment, but the role can be done flexibly around employment, studying, caring, and other voluntary commitments.
