Notes for
Candidates
Politics is the art of preventing
people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them.
Paul Valery
Information
for Candidates - by the Electoral Commission
First, some relevent points concerning
local elections, although the above link is the definitive source for all such
information for elections local, national and European.
One does not have to put up any cash
in order to stand in a local election.
As long as have you lived or worked
within the larger electoral area you can stand in a ward other than your own
within that area.
You need to get ten signatures of
people on the electoral register in the ward in which you are standing. Of
these one must be a proposer and the other a seconder.
Disqualifications for candidature are
listed in the information on the Electoral Commission website.
