Guidance for Candidates and Agents at Greater London Authority elections

What does the postal ballot pack contain?

Postal ballot packs contain the following: 

  • Envelope A is the envelope that the elector returns their ballot paper in. It is marked with the letter ‘A’ and the words ‘ballot paper envelope’
  • Envelope B is the envelope that the elector will use to return the ballot paper envelope and the postal voting statement. It is marked with the letter ‘B’ and the address of the Returning Officer
  • The postal voting statement contains the elector’s name, the numbers of the ballot papers issued to them, instructions on how to vote by post and space for the elector to sign and provide their date of birth
  • The ballot paper for the election of the:
    • Mayor of London
    • Constituency Assembly Member
    • London-wide Assembly Member

If the elections are combined with another poll, the Constituency Returning Officer may have decided to combine the issue of postal votes.

In that case, the postal ballot pack will also contain the ballot paper for the other electoral event(s).
