Standing as a Candidate

To stand for election, you need to complete a nomination paper and get two people from the ward where you are a candidate to sign it.

You must also complete a candidate’s consent to nomination, sign it and have it witnessed by someone.

To stand as a candidate for a political party you must have the written permission of that party.

Nomination packs are available from Electoral Services Staff (01254 388 111) or elections@hyndburnbc.gov.uk
