When must nomination papers be submitted? (Mayor of London)
You should submit your nomination papers as early as possible to give you sufficient time to submit new nomination papers should your first set contain any errors.
London Elects will offer informal checks. You will be able to book an appointment for an informal check by contacting London Elects.
Usually, nomination papers can only be delivered during normal office hours. The Greater London Returning Officer (GLRO) will confirm the exact details of when and where nomination papers can be delivered on the notice of election.
The notice of election will be published no later than 30 working days before the poll and will state the earliest date on which you can submit nomination papers.1
The notice of election will be published on London Elects’ website and in each Assembly constituency.
After you have submitted your nomination papers you will be sent a notice by the GLRO to let you know whether or not your nomination is valid.2
If, after you have submitted your nomination papers you change your mind and no longer want to stand for election, you can withdraw, provided you do so by 4pm, 24 working days before the poll.3
