Local Government by-election timetable generator updated

The Local Government by-election timetable generator has been updated to reflect the confirmed bank holiday for the King's Coronation on 8 May 2023.  

A Royal Proclamation was made in November 2022, that Monday 8 May 2024 would be a bank holiday in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland as a result of the Kings Coronation on the 6 May 2023. The proclamation for Scotland is available here: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/4203193

The timetable generator tool that is offered by the EMB has therefore been updated to reflect this new dies non.  

The spreadsheet has been checked and should be correct in what it generates, however it should be used as a guide only and Returning Officers should check all calculations themselves  when they produce their timetable for any by-election.  An accurate timetable remains the responsibility of the RO.

We are grateful to Alison Davidson in Moray who puts this tool together.

The spreadsheet is available for download here
