Remember to register ahead of the London Mayoral and London Assembly elections.

Londoners have one week left to register to vote before the deadline of Monday, April 18.

Great London returning officer Jeff Jacobs said: "The Mayor runs London and has responsibilities for the issues that affect all of us, from policing, housing and culture, to the economy, environment and transport.

"The Assembly holds the Mayor to account on behalf of Londoners. Every four years Londoners get the chance to shape this unique form of government and their city. So Kingston voters - don't' miss out, remember to register and have your say."

There are an estimated 87 polling stations in Kingston, with an electorate of 114,141.

Declaration of Mayoral and London Assembly members will be at City Hall.

How to vote:

  • Your polling station will be open from 7am until 10pm on election day. Before May 5, you will receive your polling card through your door. This will include details of your named polling station.
  • You can vote by post if you have already registered as a postal voter by 5pm on 19 April 2016. Your ballot papers will be sent to you about a week before election day, and must be returned before 10pm on May 5.
  • You can also vote by proxy. This is when a person you trust votes for your chosen candidates on your behalf if you are unable to make it to the polling station. If you want a proxy vote, your council must receive your application by 5pm on April 26.
