EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
The Greater London Authority Act 1999 (“the 1999 Act”) provides for there to be a Greater London Authority, comprising the Mayor of London and the London Assembly. The latter consists of 25 members of whom 14 are “constituency members” and 11 are “London members”.
Provision is made in section 4 of, and Schedule 2 to the 1999 Act, concerning the type of electoral system to be used at elections for the return of the Mayor, and of constituency and London members of the Assembly (“Authority elections”).
These rules make provision for the conduct of those Authority elections and reflect changes made to the rules for the conduct of Parliamentary elections, by the Electoral Administration Act 2006 (c. 22). These rules revoke and replace the Greater London Authority Elections (No. 2) Rules 2000 (S.I. 2000/427) and the Greater London Authority Elections (Amendment) Rules 2004 (S.I. 2004/227).
The rules set out in Schedules 1 to 3 apply to Authority elections (whether held to fill a vacancy in accordance with section 10 or 16 of the 1999 Act, or at an ordinary election) that are not combined with any other type of election or referendum. The rules in Schedules 1 to 3 apply subject to the modifications set out in Schedule 4 if an electronic counting system is not used at those elections.
The rules set out in Schedules 5 to 7 apply to Authority elections (whether held to fill a vacancy in accordance with section 10 or 16 of the 1999 Act or at an ordinary election) that are not combined with any other type of election or referendum. The rules in Schedules 5 to 7 apply subject to the modifications set out in Schedule 8 if an electronic counting system is not used at those elections.
Schedule 9 contains provisions governing the contents of notices for the guidance of voters to be used at Authority elections.
Schedule 10 contains the forms that, in accordance with the rules in Schedules 1 to 9, are to be used at Authority elections.
