This site aims improve understanding of democratic process in the UK by explaining in straightforward terms the steps that need to be taken by someone who wishes to participate in an election. The people who can be assisted by the information on this site are people who may wish to be candidates, or they may be agents or party workers.

The purpose of this site is to de-mystify the electoral process so that independent candidates or inexperienced candidates in smaller parties can have equal access to the methods use by the major parties who have built up a wealth of experience doing similar things over the years.
