Tain and Easter Ross Highland Council by-election plans firmed up
THE deadline to resister for postal votes for a forthcoming Easter Ross Highland Council by-election is looming large.
Tain and Easter Ross voters have a choice of seven candidates for the by-election which was triggered by the death of the late Alasdair Rhind.
By now those registered electors for the Tain and Easter Ross by-election should have received their poll card, Highland Council says.
