For example, if an elected member stands down before the complation of their term and a by-election is scheduled to fill that vacancy. These advance notices will move to the Current Elections tab as each term's elections are completed. For example, elections scheduled to open in Hilary Term (January) will be advertised as Current at the end of Michaelmas Term (December). The final list of vacancies for each term will be published under the Current tab, and in the Gazette, in Week 0 and Week 1 of each term.
