relation to those subscribers, the election and each London borough and the City, at least ten of the subscribers shall be electors who are ordinarily resident in the borough or, as the case may be,

appearing first on the paper shall be taken into account to the exclusion of any others.\n(3) The nomination paper shall give the electoral number of each person subscribing it.\n(4) The GLRO—\n(a) shall supply any elector with as many forms of nomination paper and forms of consent to nomination as may be required at the place and during the time for delivery of nomination papers, and\n(b) shall, at any elector’s request, prepare a nomination paper for signature,\nbut it is not necessary for a nomination or consent to nomination to be on a form supplied by the GLRO.\n(5) In this rule—\n“elector” means a person—\n(a) who is registered as a local government elector for any Assembly constituency in the register to be used at the election; or\n(b) who, pending publication of that register, appears from the electors lists for that register, as corrected by the registration officer, to be entitled to be so registered,\nand accordingly includes a person shown in the register of electors lists as below voting age if it appears from it that he will be of voting age on the day fixed for the poll, but not otherwise; and\n“electoral number” means—\n(a) a person’s number in that register; or\n(b) pending publication of the register, his number (if any) in the electors list for that register.", "extent": null, "status": null, "version": "current", "annotations": [],
