If you are shown as standing nominated in the statement of persons nominated you will be entitled to free postage on an election address to electors in the constituency. The address must only contain matters relating to the election.
Before the publication of the statement of persons nominated, if you declare yourself to be a candidate you are entitled to exercise this right, but only if you give a security that is required by Royal Mail for the payment of postage in case you are not shown on the statement as standing nominated.
You may have postage paid on either:
one unaddressed election communication of up to 60 grams to every postal address, or
one election communication of up to 60 grams addressed to each elector
If you are considering exercising this right, you should contact Royal Mail to make arrangements. Royal Mail’s terms and conditions must be complied with.
