Who can stand as an MP?
Declaring your candidacy
Once Parliament has dissolved you can declare that you are a candidate for election,
or others can declare your candidacy.
Nominations
In order to become a 'validly nominated' candidate, which means your name will appear on a ballot paper, you need to submit a completed set of nomination forms together with a deposit of £500 to the (Acting) Returning Officer before 4pm on the deadline day for nominations.
As a 'validly nominated' candidate you will be entitled to free postage for one election communication to electors in your constituency, as well as the use of certain rooms to hold public meetings.
Election agent
Every candidate must have an election agent
(if you wish you may act as your own agent).
This is the person responsible in law for the proper management, particularly in terms of finances, of your election campaign.
