Completed applications must be sent to the Returning Officer by 5pm on Friday, 11 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 Selection 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, and 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 about endorsements and photos including other people, please contact the Returning Officer for advice. 

The Selection Committee is using the Shortened Selection process (click here) for selection. However, if 6 or more candidates apply for the seat, it would as per those rules move to the longer process (click here).

Applicants who are not on the approved list but who have submitted an application for approval to the Candidates Office may apply, but they must be approved by 11 July to proceed. Attention is drawn to the residence requirement for Mayoral candidates.
