At close of nominations should fewer candidates stand validly nominated than there are vacancies (one), there will be no poll and the candidate will be elected uncontested. If more candidates stand nominated than there are vacancies, then a contested poll will take place. If no candidate submits a nomination paper, then a poll will be rescheduled. This will repeat until the vacancies are filled.
