Production of ballot papers

The GLRO is arranging for the production of all ballot papers, which will be printed by FDM Ltd. London Elects will discuss numbers and delivery timetables with you so that you can take these into account in your election planning.

There will be three ballot papers at these elections - one for each contest – which will be coloured as follows1 :

ElectionOrdinary ballot paper colourTendered ballot paper colour
Mayor of LondonPinkPale Green
Constituency Assembly MemberYellowPale Purple
London-wide Assembly MemberOrangePale Blue

You will need to provide constituency Assembly Member candidate information to the GLRO via a web-portal so that the ballot papers for the constituency contest can be produced.

The GLRO will send you electronic proof of ballot papers for your constituency to check and confirm. 

London Elects will provide information to you on how this process will work in practice.
For information on the candidate details for the ballot paper see our GLRO guidance.
