Budding councillors have the chance to find out more about the role at an open evening for election candidates.
Lancaster City Council will hold the event on Monday March 6 at Lancaster Town Hall from 7pm.
This is a chance for potential candidates to find out more about the election process and pick up nomination papers.
The next city council elections will be held on Thursday May 4, when all 61 seats are up for election.
A city council spokesperson said: "Becoming a local councillor can be a very rewarding experience – it offers a unique opportunity to make a difference to your local community and to help shape, direct and monitor the services which affect the people who live, work and visit the Lancaster district."
There are also elections on May 4 for all of the district’s parish and town councils.
The timetable for election is the same as for a city council election and nomination packs and advice on the process will be available at the open evening.
Any questions about individual parishes should be directed to the relevant parish clerk – contact details can be found on the city council’s website.
Nominations can be submitted between 10am and 4pm from Tuesday March 21 to Tuesday April 4 (excluding weekends and bank holidays).
*Carnforth Town Council is supporting a national campaign encouraging residents to stand in the local (parish and town) council elections.
The Make A Change campaign by the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) calls on people from all backgrounds and experiences who are passionate about their local area to put themselves forward.
