Elections 5th May 2016
The following elections are due to take place on the above mentioned date in 2016.
There will be Devolved Government elections consisting of Parliamentary in Scotland and Assembly elections in Wales and N. Ireland.
There will also be Police and Crime Commissioners elections in England and Wales involving 41 Police Force Areas, (London is not included).
Mayoral Elections will take place in London, Bristol, Liverpool and Salford.
There will also be 126 Local Government Elections in England.
All of the above elections are covered by the National Agreement covering the delivery of election material.
To be clear as it became an issue in the previous elections those delivery units involved in the delivery of Poll Cards for the upcoming Police & Crime Commissioner Elections will be paid at the rate per item applicable to the delivery unit, in line with the National Agreement covering the delivery of election material.
Further information involving those elections listed above are included with this LTB and for clarification purposes ‘Candidate Mail’ is defined as
“A free election communication which can be addressed or unaddressed items for a candidate/party in a parliamentary by-election or general election. There is also candidate mail for the European and Devolved Government elections (including in 2016 the elections to the Scottish Parliament and the Assemblies for Wales and Northern Ireland).
Candidate mailings are free to candidates in these elections and are paid for by the Cabinet Office. The mail pieces must comply with the requirements in the candidate mail guide.”
We are currently awaiting the first iteration of the Mailing Diary from Royal Mail and this will be forwarded via LTB once it is received.
