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 county authority mayoral elections where the Combined County Authority Mayor takes on the functions of the Police [Fire] and Crime Commissioner.
We have produced this guidance because where the Combined County Authority Mayors take on the functions of a Police and Crime Commissioner they have different candidate disqualifications compared with the disqualifications that apply 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.
