Castle Point is moving to all ups, so every seat will be electing in may. This was one of the three most recent councils to move away from whole council elections onto the thirds cycle, doing so in 2003. The other two were North East Lincolnshire and Plymouth.

Have it: www.castlepoint.gov.uk/download.cfm?doc=docm93jijm4n7856.pdf&ver=13517I'll do the numbers - there are multiple invalid nominations by the Conservatives so may be a story here. Totals (full slate of 39) Lab - 25 (3/3 in St Mary's, 2/3 in Appleton, Canvey Island North, Canvey Island South, Canvey Island Winter Gardens, Hadleigh St James, St George's, St Michael's, Tarpots, Thundersley North, Thundersley South, 1/3 in Canvey Island Central, Canvey Island East) The People`s Independent Party - 24 (3/3 in Appleton, Hadleigh St James, St George's, St Mary's, Michael's, Tarpots, Thundersley North, Thundersley South) Con - 22 (with no less than 13 nominations declared invalid) (3/3 in Appleton, Thundersley South, 2/3 in Canvey Island East, Canvey Island North, Canvey Island Winter Gardens, Hadleigh St James, St George's, Tarport, Thundersley North, 1/3 in Canvey Island South, St Mary's) Canvey Island Independent Party - 15 (3/3 in Canvey Island Central, Canvey Island East, Canvey Island North, Canvey Island South, Canvey Island Winter Gardens) Canvey Residents` Alliance - 13 (3/3 in Canvey Island Central, Canvey Island North, Canvey Island South, Canvey Island Winter Gardens, 1/3 in Canvey Island East) Green - 2 (Canvey Island Winter Gardens, St George's) Ind - 1 (St George's) This could be chaos; mass Conservative under-nominations (spare a thought for the Tory agent here) and competing Canvey Island resident groups. One to watch.

I see that as well as the Canvey Island Independent Party, and the People's Independent Party, we've now also got the Canvey Residents' Alliance.

I enjoy the suggestion implicit in PIP's name that the residents of Canvey Island are not people.

The PIP is assured of 1 seat in St Michaels (3 PIP, 2 Lab), due to the 3 Conservative nominations being rejected.

Hello Mr Gray
Thank you for your email. I’m afraid it is not appropriate for the Council or the Returning Officer to comment on nomination papers. This includes reasons for their rejection.
Sorry we can’t be of further help on this occasion.
Kind regards
Cheryl Salmon AEA (Dip)

Davıd Boothroyd scouted out this BBC article - which raises more questions than answers: www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2x3lrjj4pmoWhat we can surmise: * It wasn't issues with proposer and seconder: these are shown on the CP SOPNs and are the same for invalidated and accepted candidates * It's unlikely to be an issue with certificates because the likelihood is they'd all be wrong * The candidates could, theoretically, have been ineligible to stand - but 13 of them? Nah. Why would some candidates from the same party have had what they call "new" nomination papers and some old? And what wording could have changed between the new papers and the old ones to make the old ones so egregiously inadmissable? As far as I'm aware, the Elections Act 2022 didn't touch upon council candidate nominations, and there hasn't - to my knowledge - been other legislation updating nomination regs for some years. So old nomination forms would have to be very old indeed to be inadmissable.

The electoral commission updated the nomination forms earlier this year with little fanfare.
Form 1c, the candidate's consent to nomination, has a new statement that the candidate is signing to. Last year's forms are very similar.
Plenty of candidates and agents this year have used the old paperwork for nominations only to find them rejected shortly after they have been submitted (exact same happened here in Amber Valley for our by-election candidate).
If you haven't given yourself time to sort this out (submitting paperwork shortly before the deadline for instance) then results in what we have seen in Castle Point.

Perhaps a formal FOI Act request might yield a more helpful response? I've met resistance when trying to do this in relation to Parliamentary elections, on grounds that the Returning Officer is a legally separate office from the local authority and therefore not within the scope of the FOIA. May be different for local elections.
