Guidance for Candidates and Agents at local government elections in England

Being validly nominated in more than one ward

If you are validly nominated in more than one ward within the same local authority, you must withdraw from all wards but one before the deadline for withdrawals (i.e. by 4pm, 19 working days before the poll). 

If you do not withdraw from all but one ward, you will be deemed to have withdrawn from all of the wards.1
