Scrap general election deposits, says watchdog. The £500 deposit required to stand in a general election should be scrapped, the Electoral Commission has said. The watchdog said the sum, which is returned if a candidate gets at least 5% of votes cast, was "unreasonable" as it depended on their financial means.

In an electoral system, a deposit is the sum of money that a candidate for an elected office, such as a seat in a legislature, is required to pay to an electoral authority before he or she is permitted to stand for election. ... If the candidate does not achieve the refund threshold, the deposit is forfeited.


The President is elected by the members of an electoral college consisting of the electedmembers of both the Houses of Parliament and the elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of States and the Union Territories of Delhi and Pondicherry.
