Two candidates are set to contest the Sliema local council seat vacated by the resignation of councillor Silvio Zammit.
Antoinette Castaldi Paris will go head to head against Philip Andrew Ransley in a casual election for the post.
The electoral commission did not say when the casual election will be held.
Mr Zammit departed after being implicated in the resignation of former EU Commissioner John Dalli.
The existing council’s mandate expires next year.
