<p>In its Response (Cm9578) published on the 14 March 2018, to the Committee on Standards
in Public Life Review of Intimidation in Public Life, the Government accepts the Committee’s
recommendation to remove the requirement for candidates standing as local councillors
to have their home address published on the ballot paper, and will look to bring forward
secondary legislation to achieve this at a suitable opportunity with the aim of effecting
this change in time for the 2019 local elections. The intention is for this secondary
legislation to replace the requirement for a specific address with an option to include
a statement of residence based on an electoral area where the candidate lives.</p>
