Guidance for the GLRO administering the GLA elections

Polling station notices

You are required to prepare and provide each CRO with notices for display in polling booths, and outside and inside polling stations.1 The contents and format of the notices for the guidance of voters are prescribed.2   

The notice entitled ‘How to vote at this election’ must be printed in conspicuous characters and exhibited outside and inside each polling station The ‘instruction for voters’ notice is required to be displayed inside every polling station and in every polling booth.3  

You may also provide versions of these notices in alternative languages or formats as you think appropriate and, if the CRO agrees, these may also be exhibited inside and outside the polling station.4 You should liaise with CROs to identify what the alternative language and format requirements are across the Greater London area.

The contents and format of the notices are prescribed in the election rules and cover information relating to all three contests, but each notice may if you decide include alternative information relating to the GLA elections as long as it conforms with the legislative requirements for notices.
