By-elections
Whitehaven Central
The by-election was triggered by the disqualification of Labour councillor Sean Cullen for non-attendance, formally declared by the Returning Officer on 14 February 2020; the poll, originally due within 35 working days of that notice, was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
