It is a good idea to have your nomination paperwork informally checked by the elections office before you formally submit it. This can allow you to make corrections or complete new nomination forms if there are any mistakes. Please contact the elections team using the above details to arrange this.

The Elections Team can also help you with elector numbers. If you tell them the full name and address of the subscriber. Contact us at 01424 787826 or elections@rother.gov.uk.
