The Electoral Commission have published two new animated resources:

'completing your nomination papers' provides an overview of the forms to be completed at a local government election.

'home address form' follows on from the main resource and focusses on the specific requirements of the home address form. This includes what candidates need to do to withhold their address from election material.
