Community council elections

Community Councils of Aberdeenshire logoThe nomination period for the 2024 community council elections closed on 8th September 2024. However, some community councils did not receive enough nominations to reach their minimum numbers. A second call for nominations will be held for these community councils:

  • Buchan area - Boddam, and Buchan East
  • Formartine area - Auchterless, Inverkeithny and Fisherford
  • Marr area - Lumphanan, and Strathbogie 

If there are not enough candidates to meet the minimum numbers after this second call, a community council will not be formed. This will leave a considerable gap in the representation of local views and involvement in development of policy and how your area develops and grows.

To find out about current elections, and see the results and inaugural meeting details for formed community councils please go to the relevant area pages:

Where community councils met the minimum number of nominations but did not exceed their maximum numbers, all of the nominees were duly elected on 20th September 2024. If you are interested in joining any of these community councils, please contact the community council directly. 

Community councils are comprised of people who care about their community and want to make them a better place to live. We hope that people will want to come forward to represent their areas and we would encourage new people to become involved to sustain and develop their communities. Whatever your background, you have something to bring to your community council.

As a community councillor you will:

  • Be provided with training and support and you will learn about how things work
  • Get to develop and undertake projects
  • Get a real sense of achievement when you see the difference you can make
