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'.
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.
