Whilst many in Cornwall will be going to the polls on Thursday 1st May 2025, in Marazion the number of people who submitted election nomination papers to Cornwall Council happened to be the same number of town council seats vacant. This means that the election is uncontested and all those who submitted election nomination papers will be your town councillors until the next Cornwall County, Town and Parish Elections in four years time.
If there had been more election nominated papers than vacant seats then there would have been a contested election.
