Guidance for Candidates and Agents at Greater London Authority elections

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 a candidate in the same mayoral election as you
• the election agent of any other person standing nominated as a candidate in the same mayoral election as you (or, if the candidate is acting as their own agent, any person nominated by them)
• any two persons (but no more) who have subscribed a nomination paper for any other person standing nominated as a candidate in the same mayoral election as you

If you have been nominated by more than one nomination paper, the subscribers who are entitled to inspect are those that appear on the nomination paper chosen by you. If you do not choose a nomination paper, this will be the first paper delivered.

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.
