EAST YORKS: Candidates wishing to stand to become the first Humberside police and crime commissioner have to submit their nomination by today.
Each prospective candidate must provide 100 signatures of people living in the Humberside Police force area and a £5,000 deposit to East Riding Council by noon.
The deposit will be returned to the candidate if they secure per cent of the votes in next month's election.
So far, six candidates have confirmed they have submitted their nomination.
They are Labour's Lord Prescott, Conservative candidate Matthew Grove, Liberal Democrat Simone Butterworth and UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom.
Independent candidates Paul Davison, a former commander of policing in the East Riding, and former Tory MP Walter Sweeney have also confirmed they will be on the ballot paper.
Unemployed Neil Eyre, who also wants to run as an independent candidate, is expected to announce today if he has secured the money to stand.
The incoming commissioner will replace Humberside Police Authority, which is being abolished, in overseeing the force's budget and priorities.
Voting takes place on November 15, with the successful candidate starting work a week later.
