Marlborough Town Council has two Town Councillor vacancies, one each in the East and West Wards.

After a number of electors wrote to the Returning Officer to request an election, the vacancy in East ward will be filled by election.

There were no requests for an election for the vacancy in West ward and so that vacancy will be filled by co-option.
