Nomination papers must be delivered to the location specified by you on the notice of election. The location you choose must be in the police area.1
The address given for the delivery of nomination papers should be exact, and include any room name or number. This will avoid any doubt should nominations be delivered close to the deadline.
You should:
ensure that only you or your staff take delivery of nomination papers at the specified location
clearly signpost the location from the building entrance
ensure the route is fully accessible or provide an appropriately signposted alternative
give details to other local authority staff, such as reception staff, of what to do if a person tries to deliver a nomination paper to them and make it clear that they:
should not handle nomination papers
should not offer to deliver them
should instead direct the person delivering the forms to you
You or an appointed deputy must be present throughout the period for nominations and the period for objections.2
