Those interested in running in the General Election on July 18 will be submitting their applications today.

Nominations for all constituencies will be accepted at the Hamilton Seventh-day Adventist Church, located on King Street, between 11am and 1pm.

Candidates must be Bermudian and over the age of 21. They must be nominated for a constituency by two people registered in that constituency.

A fee of $250 payable to the Accountant-General is also required. The deposit is returned to candidates who poll more than one-eighth of votes cast.

Nomination papers can be obtained from the Parliamentary Registry website at www.elections.gov.bm.

• Comments are closed on political content from July 4 to 19 to stem the flow of purposefully inflammatory and litigious comments during the General Election cycle. Users who introduce extreme partisan comments into other news content will be banned.
