The nomination form, consent to nomination and home address forms must be delivered either:1
by hand
electronically as per the arrangements set out in the electronic delivery statement
You should have processes in place for monitoring the electronic delivery of nomination forms, including mitigating against any risk of emails being diverted to spam folders.
Where a document is delivered by hand, the original version of each completed document must be submitted. Delivery by hand can include by a courier.
Where a document is delivered electronically, the document may be signed electronically – this could take the form of a typed signature for example.
You should take steps to communicate the requirements relating to delivery of nomination papers to all prospective parties, candidates and agents.
