Guidance for the GLRO administering the GLA elections

Election Addresses

At a Mayor of London election, you are required by law to produce a booklet that includes election addresses from candidates at the election and are responsible for the delivery of it to each person entitled to vote at the mayoral election.1   

As part of your planning, you will need to consider how you are going to manage this process in practice. 

You should encourage candidates and agents to formally submit the address to you as early as possible in order to allow time for it to be returned to the agent if amendments or corrections are required and for it to be resubmitted by the deadline for submissions. You should acknowledge receipt of a candidate’s address to provide a clear audit trail.

You must only include an election address in the booklet if it is a statement prepared on behalf of a candidate by their election agent that complies with certain legal requirements.2
