Combined Authority and Combined County Authority Returning Officer guidance for Combined Authority Mayoral elections

There is no limit to the number of nomination forms that may be delivered for the same candidate. 

If a candidate is validly nominated by more than one form: 

• the candidate should choose one of the valid nomination forms - to be known as the 'selected' nomination form 
• details on this selected nomination form should be added to the statement of persons nominated and the ballot paper1

If the candidate cannot or does not do this, then you must choose which one of the forms will be used.2

If more than one nomination form is delivered and one of the nomination forms is invalid:

• that form is excluded from the forms that can be chosen by the candidate or yourself 
• as long as at least one nomination form is valid, the candidate can be validly nominated
