On Thursday 5th May, London will vote to decide who becomes our next Mayor of London.

 

The Mayor of London is responsible for several areas, from housing - including the quality and quantity of housing and homelessness - to health, transport and the environment.

 

To develop strategies and fund services in these areas, the Mayor has a budget of £17bn.

 

As a citizen of London, the decisions that the Mayor makes - whether that's the cost of public transport, the affordability of housing, or tackling pollution - will affect you.  With that in mind, it's important that you vote in the mayoral elections and have your say on how your city is run.

 

There are 12 candidates standing to become Mayor of London. You can view their manifestos in the London Elects guide, or in our booklet at the bottom of this page.

 

To place your vote, you will need to head to your nearest polling station (click here to find yours) between 7am and 10pm on Thursday 5th May. Don't worry if you've forgotten (or lost!) your polling card - the polling station staff can find you on the register.
