Candidates standing on behalf of political parties
This section outlines the additional information that candidates standing on behalf of a political party must submit with their nomination papers.
To stand on behalf of a registered political party, the party must be registered on the Commission’s register of political parties at http://search.electoralcommission.org.uk and be listed as allowed to field candidates in Scotland.
You will also need to submit a certificate of authorisation if you want to use a party name. If you also wish to use an emblem of the party, you will also need to submit an emblem request form as part of your nomination.
