As an elector, you have the opportunity to help choose who will represent the Diocese of London in the House of Clergy and the House of Laity.

On this page you will find details of the candidates standing for election, together with the names of their proposers and seconders, and links to their election addresses. Candidates are listed separately according to the House for which they are standing.
