Londoners head to the polls for City Hall elections

May 3, 2012 by Martin Hoscik

The elections for Mayor and London Assembly are now underway.
Up to 5.8m Londoners will vote today to elect a new Mayor of London and the 25 members of the London Assembly, the body which scrutinises the Mayor and investigates issues of concern to Londoners.

At the polling station voters will be given three ballot papers, one for the Mayoral election, one for their local London Assembly constituency and one for the London Assembly ‘list’ election.

London Elects, the body which organises elections for City Hall, says: “Voters should mark a first and second preference with a cross when they make their choice for Mayor on the pink ballot paper.

“When voting for their constituency London Assembly Member, voters mark one cross on the yellow ballot paper for the person they would to represent their local area.

“Similarly, voters mark one cross on their orange ballot paper for the political party or independent candidate who they want to represent the whole of London.”

Polling stations are open from 7am to 10pm on 3rd May and voters can find their polling station via a search engine on the www.londonelects.org.uk website.

The results of the election will be announced at City Hall on Friday 4th May.
