The authority had no on put themselves forward the first time around
A by-election will be recalled in the parish of Patrick.
The commissioners had no potential candidates put themselves forward and were left with 'no other option'.
The successful person will serve as a board member until April 2025.
Clerk at Patrick Commissioners, Ian Maule says the authority hopes to get 'at least' one candidate.
The authority has four members and needs to find an extra member and isn't allowed to co-opt someone from a different local authority.
