Death of an individual candidate or party list at the London-wide Assembly Member election
If before the result of the election is declared you receive proof to your satisfaction that an individual London-wide Assembly Member candidate or a candidate named on a party list has died you must:1
inform each CRO of the death of the candidate
in the case of a person on a party list, remove that person’s name from the party list
There is no provision for the poll to be cancelled. However, you should take reasonable steps to publicise the name of the candidate, the fact of their death, whether they were an individual London-wide Assembly Member candidate or a party list candidate and, if they were standing on behalf of a registered party, the name of the party.
You should publicise the death by placing notices outside and inside the polling stations.
