<p>The Government is committed to removing the requirement for candidates standing
as local councillors to have their home addresses published on the ballot paper. This
requirement will be replaced with an option to include a statement of residence based
on an electoral area the candidate lives in rather than having to include a specific
address, in line with the provisions in place for candidates at UK parliamentary elections.
We are currently working through the detail in discussion with relevant stakeholders,
including what level of location information is appropriate, and how the provisions
will be implemented in practice.</p>
