Candidates and agents

This page is for prospective candidates in the Southampton Itchen and Southampton Test constituencies only.

If you are interested in standing as a candidate or will be an election agent, the best source of information to help you through the process is published by the Electoral Commission and is a full guide, providing advice and help for each aspect that you will become involved with:

If you are interested in standing as a candidate or will be an election agent please contact electoral services. This will ensure that we can include you in any future communications. 

In the lead up to polling day candidates and agents are respectfully reminded of their obligations under the Electoral Commission Code of Conduct. As part of the communication strategy, the Acting Returning Officer encourages all candidates and agents to sign up to and abide by the Code of Conduct. This is especially important when briefing campaign staff who may not ordinarily have read the Code themselves. Full Guidance on the dos and don'ts of campaigning can be found in part four of the Commission's Guidance.
