These Rules amend the Local Elections (Principal Areas) (England and Wales) Rules 2006 (S.I. 2006/3304) and the Greater London Authority Elections Rules 2007 (S.I. 2007/3541). The amendments reduce the number of subscribing electors that are required on a candidate nomination form respectively for local elections and for the London mayoral elections. This is to reduce the amount of person to person contact that may be needed as part of the nomination process, in order to reduce the risk of exposure to and transmission of the Coronavirus.
