Guidance for Candidates and Agents at Greater London Authority elections

Inspection of nomination, consent and home address forms (London-wide party list)

Nomination and consent to nomination forms

Nomination forms and consent to nomination forms that have been delivered to the Greater London Returning Officer are open to inspection by anyone from 24 hours after the close of nominations until the day before the poll. Inspections take place during normal office hours, and anyone inspecting these forms can take a copy of them.1

The home address form2

Only certain people are entitled to inspect home address forms. These people are:

  • any (other) person standing nominated as an individual candidate or list candidate in the same electoral area
  • the election agent of any other person standing nominated as a list or individual candidate in the same electoral area
  • an individual candidate acting as their own election agent or a list candidate acting as the election agent for candidates included in that list, a person nominated by them
  • you, as the nominating officer of a registered party standing also nominated in the same electoral area (or a person authorised in writing by you)

Inspections of the home address form can take place during normal office hours from 24 hours after the close of nominations until the day before the poll, however, no-one is permitted to take an extract from them or make a copy of them.
