To be able to use this qualification, you are not required to have lived at the same address for the whole of the 12 months before the day on which you are nominated, but you must have lived in the same combined authority area during the whole of those 12 months.1
If in the last 12 months you have lived at more than one address in the combined authority area, you should list on your consent to nomination, which is one of the required nomination papers, all of the addresses at which you have lived during that period. This qualification also requires you to live in the combined authority area from the date of nomination to polling day.
