Hundreds of potential county councilors showed up to try to win one of the 126 seats up for grabs.

The 63 electoral constituencies of the local authority host the poll on Thursday, May 6, with between one and three places available in each.

One of the most high-profile figures not seeking re-election this time around is Alan Napier of Labor, the deputy head of the council, who has served in Murton since 2008.

May 6 will also see the polling stations open for the Durham Police, Crime and Victims Commissioner, as well as many city and parish councils.
