The candidate’s full names must be listed on the nomination form for the Mayor of London election and the London-wide Assembly Member election.1
Their surname must be given first, followed by all of their other names in full.
Prefixes and suffixes
The nomination form does not prescribe a space for prefixes or suffixes.
Candidates should be advised not to include prefixes or suffixes such as Mr, Mrs, Dr or Cllr, or suffixes such as OBE or MBA in the field of the nomination form asking for their full name. If a prefix or suffix is included as part of the actual name the nomination form would not be invalid as a result, but the prefix or suffix should not be transferred to the statement of persons (and parties) nominated.
If a candidate has submitted a nomination form with a prefix or suffix as part of their actual name, you should inform the candidate and their agent or, in the case of a party list, the Nominating Officer (or person authorised on their behalf) that their nomination has not been affected, but that the prefix or suffix will not appear on the relevant statement of persons (and parties) nominated, the notice of poll or, where relevant, the ballot paper.
The only exception to this is where a prefix or suffix has been included as part of a commonly used name and that is how the candidate claims to be commonly known.
