Nominations Process for Candidates standing for Borough and
Parish/Town Council elections
People wishing to stand as a candidate must submit a nomination
paper giving details of their name, address and political
description. The nomination paper has to be signed by the correct
number of supporters (10 for Borough Council elections and 2 for
Parish or Town Council elections) and must be submitted before the
nomination deadline - noon on Monday 4 April 2011. All supporters
who sign a nomination paper must be included on the relevant
Register of Electors; otherwise the nomination paper will not be
valid.
Your name and address must be given in full. The law now limits the
description candidates can use. For a Borough Council election,
unless a person is standing on behalf of a political party, they
may only use the word "Independent" or leave this part blank.
Candidates cannot submit a nomination paper using a political party
description unless they have permission to do so and a certificate
from the appropriate party saying that they are allowed to use the
description.
