The briefing will run through essentials like how to complete nomination papers, how much money can be spent on campaigning, how postal votes work and many other important matters.

There will also be a West Mercia Police officer on hand to discuss the dangers of electoral fraud.

This year’s elections will take place on Thursday May 5.
