There are 9 seats on Ampfield Parish Council. 

The elected term for parish councillors is four years. Elections for Ampfield Parish Council are managed by Test Valley Borough Council https://www.testvalley.gov.uk/aboutyourcouncil/localdemocracy/elections/.  Each elected councillor must be qualified to stand for office, as set out by the Electoral Commission https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/candidate-or-agent/parish-council-elections-england . There are some disqualifications too. This means that your councillors must be a registered local government elector for the parish; or live, work or own property in, or within 3 miles of, the parish.
