Qualifications and disqualifications for standing for election (with PCC)
This section of the document contains our guidance on whether or not you can stand for election at the combined authority mayoral elections where the mayor takes on the Police and Crime Commissioner role.
We have produced this guidance because where the combined authority mayor also takes on the functions of a Police and Crime Commissioner (or Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner as relevant), the disqualifications that apply to candidates at this election are different to the disqualifications at other combined authority mayoral elections.
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.
