Please find details below of upcomings by-elections across the West Midlands.
By-elections are vital to increase our base of elected representatives - a single by-election can cause an upset in Westminster, or a Council to change hands! It is also a vital way of network with other campaigners - who you can learn from and gain more experience. In some bigger campaigns, you may even be treated to pizza, local produce, or other treats!
There are always a range of activities you can undertake - and for people new to campaigning, support and guidance will be given.
Check the area the by-election is being held in, the date/s of action days, and who to contact for more information.
If you have by-elections you'd like featured here - please send to info@wmlibdems.org
