Four candidates will be vying to become a Chesterfield Borough Council councillor.

They are Keith Falconer for the Liberal Democrats, Ron Mihaly for the Labour Party, Oliver Scheidt for the Conservative Party and Paul Stone, independent.

The by-election is being held following the resignation of former councillor Stephen Hitchin who stood down to concentrate on his family and medical career.

Residents who are registered to vote in that ward will be sent a polling card.

Polls will be open from 7am to 10pm on the day.
