How must nomination papers be submitted? (Mayor of London)
The nomination form, the home address form and consent to nomination must be delivered by hand and cannot be submitted by post, e-mail or other electronic means.1
The certificate of authorisation and the emblem request form may be submitted by post, but may not be submitted by fax, email or other electronic means.2
The original version of each completed paper must be submitted.3
For example, a certificate of authorisation which has been sent as an attachment to an email to be printed out, would make it a ‘copy document’ and not the original document.
Although you are not required to, you are advised to submit all your nomination papers at the same time and at an appointment, booked in advance, with London Elects.
All Mayoral candidates have an opportunity to make an election address telling voters about their policies.4
This will be included in the Mayoral booklet produced by the Greater London Returning Officer.
