Today’s setting of the budget for 24 March means it’s all but certain that the general election will be on 6 May, the date of the scheduled local elections. What that means in terms of deadlines for nominations, applying for postal votes and so on is detailed in this general and local elections 2010 timetable I’ve put together.

really helpful, thanks for doing this.
Can you confirm what date (under that timetable) would be the start of the “short period” for election expenses? Would that only start on the 12th?
