This report outlines the Elections Review Committee's findings on the procedures that have been put in place for 1 May 2008, when Londoners will go to the polls to elect a Mayor of London and 25 Assembly Members.

The Committee’s report makes a number of recommendations to London Elects, who will run the elections on behalf of the GLA. It calls on them to communicate more effectively with voters to prevent accidental spoiling of ballot papers, and to be more transparent about ballot paper adjudication during the count itself.
