The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Liberal Democrat Liaison Committee invites applications for selection as the Mayoral Candidate for the Mayoral Constituency of Hampshire and the Solent.
For more information on the Constituency or Local Parties, applicants may contact the following impartial member: Adrian Collett, 47 Globe Farm Lane, Blackwater, Camberley GU17 0DY, email acollett@cix.co.uk, phone 07718 146606.
To apply, applicants should supply a personal CV/Manifesto of no more than two sides of A4, their contact details, and a separate signed document accepting the statements here to the Returning Officer, Veronica Feirn, Southgarth, 2 Caistor

Completed applications must be sent to the Returning Officer by 5 pm on Friday, 18th July. It is the responsibility of applicants to check that their applications have been received by the Returning Officer by the closing date. As part of the planned shortened selection process, the CV/Manifesto should be usable by the Liaison Committee as part of the member mailing, which will go out at the start of the campaign. For it to be suitable for that purpose, it should include no endorsements from others. If it includes any photos of people aside from the candidate, written permission from those people must be provided to the Returning Officer. If you are unclear about the rules regarding endorsements and photos that include other people, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Returning Officer for advice.
The Liaison Committee is using the Shortened Selection process for selection. However, if six or more candidates apply for the seat, it would according to those rules, proceed to the longer process.
Applicants who are not on the approved list but have submitted an application for approval to the Candidates Office may apply; however, they must be approved by 18th July to proceed. Attention is drawn to the residence requirement for Mayoral candidates.
