Completing your nomination papers (London-wide individual candidate)
To become nominated as an individual candidate at the London-wide Assembly Member election, you need to submit a completed set of nomination papers to the place fixed by the Greater London Returning Officer (GLRO) with a deposit of £5,000 by 4pm, 24 working days before the poll.1
This deadline is set out in law and cannot be changed for any reason.
The start date from which you will be able to submit nomination papers, as well as the times and place for delivery, will be set out in the notice of election published by the GLRO.2
There are three nomination papers that you must submit to make your nomination valid:3
London Elects will offer informal checks of your completed nomination papers before you submit them. You will be able to book an appointment by contacting London Elects.
Note that any information you provide on your nomination papers must be true to the best of your knowledge. It is an offence to provide a false statement on your nomination papers.4
Providing a false statement could invalidate your election, and is also punishable by an unlimited fine and/or imprisonment.
