The closing date for postal voting applications is 18 April, while the cut-off point for proxy voting applications is 25 April.
This year’s council elections will see a total of 29 candidates vie for votes on 4 May, with the Shetland South ward not even going to the polls after only three people put themselves forward for the three seats.
