Guidance for Candidates and Agents at Combined Authority Mayoral elections

How do you get the number of constituent councils and registered electors?

To assist you in calculating your spending limit, the Combined Authority Returning Officer (CARO) will be able to provide you with

  • the number of constituent councils in the combined authority area
  • the number of electors in the combined authority area

You must request this information in writing and the CARO must provide it as soon as practicable after they receive your request. Please contact your CARO about when this information will be made available to you.

The CARO may also have put in place arrangements to coordinate requests for copies of all the registers and lists of absent voters for the combined authority area.

For further information on when you will be able to receive copies of the registers and lists and how to make any requests, see Campaigning.
