The next London Mayoral and Assembly elections will be held this year on 2nd May, 100 days away. The Elections Act 2022 has brought about the first significant changes to how we elect London’s leaders since 2000 and I want to draw these to your attention now.
London’s elections are unique, in that you not only vote for a Mayor, but you also vote for 25 Assembly Members, whose role is to hold the Mayor of London to account, acting as a check and balance. You will have three votes on 2nd May – one for the Mayor; one for your Constituency Assembly Member (there are 14 London Constituencies); and one for your London-wide Assembly Member (which is a vote for the party of your choice).
