Nomination forms for prospective candidates, alongside material to promote awareness of the elections and additional information, will be available on that day via the Highland Council website.
Elections for community councils must be held every four years and offer the chance for people to represent their communities' voice to the Highland Council and other agencies. They aim to bridge the gap between the council and local people's views.
By law, the Highland Council must consult community councils on planning and licencing in its area.
Community councils have a maximum of seven to 13 members depending on an area's population. They were first introduced in 1973, making this year their 50th year.
More information on community councils, including a list of all current Highland community councils, can be found on the Highland Council's website. Information is also available via the Scottish Government's website.
