Becoming a candidate
Many people choose to stand in local elections as a representative of a political party, but individuals can stand in their own right as an ‘independent’. Candidates who stand on behalf of a political party will have gone though a formal selection process.
To stand as a councillor you must:
• be aged 18 or over
• live or work in the borough, or own property there.
• not work for Reigate & Banstead Borough Council or hold a politically restricted post at another council.
• not be bankrupt or have been sentenced to prison for three months or more in the past five years
• be nominated and seconded and supported by eight other electors from the ward you want to stand in.
For further information see the Becoming a Candidate page or the Electoral Commission website.
