General Elections

PEOPLE, Ecology or Green candidates have stood in every General Election since 1974 and many by-elections.

Up until 1985 the deposit required to stand in a parliamentary election was £150 and the threshold for return of deposit was 12.5% of the votes cast. In 1985 the deposit was increased to £500, but the threshold was reduced to 5%
