How must nomination papers be submitted?

The nomination form, home address form and consent to nomination must be delivered either:1

  • by hand, or 
  • electronically as per the arrangements set out in the electronic delivery statement on the notice of election.

Where a document is delivered electronically, it may be signed electronically - this could take the form of a typed signature, for example.2

If you deliver your nomination papers by hand, the original version of each completed paper must be submitted.

Nomination papers cannot be delivered by post.
