Guidance for Candidates and Agents at Combined Authority Mayoral elections

Qualifications and disqualifications for standing for election (without PCC)

This section sets out the qualifications and disqualifications for standing at a CAM election where the mayor does not take on the Police and Crime Commissioner role.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you are qualified to stand and are not subject to any disqualifications. Neither the Returning Officer nor the Electoral Commission can confirm this to you. If you are in doubt about your eligibility you should seek legal advice. 

We have produced separate guidance for candidates standing in an area where the mayor takes on the Police and Crime Commissioner functions. 

This document does not cover local authority mayoral elections or elections for the Mayor of London.
