Guidance for Candidates and Agents at Combined County Authority Mayoral elections

This section sets out the qualifications and disqualifications for standing at a Combined County Authority Mayoral (CCAM) election.

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. 

If you are standing for election in a CCAM where the combined county authority mayor takes on the Police and Crime Commissioner function we have separate guidance on whether or not you can stand for election at a CCAM election.

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