the particulars of the candidates remaining validly nominated
the order of the names must be the same as in the statement of persons nominated.
Legislation requires the particulars of the candidates on the notice of poll to be the same as on the statement of persons nominated. You must ensure that where a candidate has chosen to have their home address withheld from the ballot paper and statement of persons nominated, the home address must not be included on the notice of poll either.3
Your privacy notice should make clear that you are required under electoral legislation to publish a candidate’s name and address in the notice of poll. You can find more information in our guidance on data protection.
You should provide a copy to all candidates and agents as soon as practicable after its publication.
Election of London-wide Assembly Members
If the election is contested you must publish a notice of poll by no later than by the 6th working day before poll.4
the number seats for London-wide Assembly Members available for allocation
the authorised description of each registered party whose party list includes candidates who stand validly nominated
the name and description (if any) of each individual candidate at the London-wide Assembly Member election remaining validly nominated
The order in which the above information must appear on the notice of poll is the same order as the information is set out in the statement of persons and parties nominated.6
It is not a legal requirement for the notice of poll to be published locally by CROs. However, you should still take steps to ensure that a copy is published in each constituency, including by ensuring that CROs either provide a link from their website to the notice you have published, or provide a copy directly on their website so that electors in all constituencies can easily access it.
You should also provide a copy to all parties, candidates and agents as soon as practicable after its publication.
