Guidance for Candidates and Agents at Senedd elections

The nomination paper must be accompanied by a home address form for each candidate included on the party list.1

Candidates must use the form as prescribed in legislation (or a form to like effect).2

The home address form must state:3

• the candidate’s full name
• any commonly used names, if these are included on their nomination form
• the candidate’s home address in full. 

The home address:

• must not contain abbreviations
• must be the candidate’s current home address
• must not be a business address (unless they run a business from their home).

The home address does not need to be in the Senedd constituency in which the candidate intends to stand.

Choosing not to publish their home address

A party list candidate may choose for their home address not to be published on the statement of parties and persons nominated.

In this case the home address form must contain, as well as their full name and their home address in full:4

• a statement, signed by the candidate, that they require their home address not to be made public
• if their home address is in Wales, the name of the Senedd constituency or if their home address is elsewhere in the UK, the name of the UK Parliamentary constituency
• if they live outside the UK, the name of the country in which their home address is situated.
