Nomination process to stand as a candidate
If you want to stand as a candidate, you should fill in a nomination paper.
You will need to:
find 10 registered electors from the ward – known as 'subscribers' – who will support you
make sure they are on the electoral register
ask them to sign your nomination paper
sign and fill in a consent to nomination form
complete the home address form and relevant papers
hand in your forms by the deadline
Subscribers must be included in electoral register on the 25th working day before the poll. Working days are Monday to Friday, not including public holidays.
You can download a nomination paper and a consent to nomination form from the Electoral Commission website.
Next steps
To support people who want to stand as candidates, we will:
hold a meeting to provide information
supply blank nomination papers
provide an election timetable
You can ask us to give you a copy of the electoral register and check your papers before you hand them in.
When to hand in your nomination paper
We run each election to a legal timetable. The timetable is published on the election dates page of our website, together with election notices.
We will publish on our website and notice board:
the date to begin handing in your papers
the closing date and time
where to hand in your papers
how to get your papers checked
a list of other candidates in your ward
Managing the process
The person in charge of elections is known as the Returning Officer. The Returning Officer for elections in Thurrock is the Chief Executive. The Returning Officer will name people to deal with issues on their behalf at election time.
There may be different rules for parliamentary elections and referendums.
