Guidance for Candidates and Agents at local government elections in England

The RO will publish a statement of persons nominated for each ward by 4pm, 18 working days before the poll.1

The statement will include:2

• the full or commonly used names, as the case may be, of all candidates validly nominated
• the names of candidates who no longer stand nominated, if any (i.e. invalid and withdrawn candidates), with the reason why they are no longer standing
• the address of each candidate, or if they have requested not to make their home address public, the name of the relevant area in which their home address is situated (or the country if their home address is situated outside the UK)
• each candidate's description (if any)

Candidate contact details

Where you have provided your email or telephone contact details to the RO via the candidate contact details form, these details will then be passed on to the police to enable them to provide you with any specific security guidance updates or advice for these elections.
