I have heard different things said about this. Can anyone clarify with a citation that the Mayor of London is also over the City? Even the Queen can't enter the City without special permission. 2602:306:CC42:8340:7502:235E:E498:DC2E ( talk) 01:48, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

I am confused. Which is the right date of "taking office" for mr johnson? His article says 4 May, which also means he is not the mayor of london as of now, but will be mayor of london tomorrow. That is my understanding. If I am wrong, correct me. I will leave it as it is now w_tanoto ( talk) 23:21, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
So when exactly does Boris take office. His article said the 5th and ken's and this said the 4th. Hopeless as somebody is wrong. They all say the 4th now but is that right. Thanks, SqueakBox 17:01, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm removed the reference to elections taking place in leap years. It's inaccurate. In fact, the very first election took place in 2000 which was not a leap year! 163.1.247.198 ( talk) 11:26, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Though your premise was correct, your example was not. 2000 was a leap year. It may be divisible by 100 buy it also divisible by 400 which makes it a leap year. 2100 will not be. I'll wait and see if there's a London mayoral election then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Genorp ( talk • contribs) 10:34, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
As the more familiar system in Britain is FPTP, can anyone clarify whether candidates need 5% of the first choice votes or whether second choice votes are also counted with reference to claiming the sufficient amount to retain their deposit?

New Mayor, needs updating Lozbeard ( talk) 12:22, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
Mr Khan formally accepted the post of mayor on Saturday when the result was announced, but he does not actually start his term until Monday, see the GLAA paragraph 8(2). As such I'm reverting the good faith edits of others, please do not revert back until Monday. And make sure you get the start date of his term right when you do (09/05/16).

I am writing to question the portrayal of transfer votes in the histograms on this page and similar London Mayoral election pages.
The first round votes are displayed in turquoise, and the transfer votes are a sandy colour.
The top two candidates may have votes transferred to them in a second round, and that is clearly portrayed.
What is the meaning of the sandy coloured section of the other candidates' graphs? It appears to be superfluous and misleading. It looks as though they get 1% transfer votes, but they don't get any. In fact, votes are transferred away from them. It might be of interest to show which candidates' votes are transferred to which top-two candidate, but I'm not sure that they are officially released
What they do get is second preference votes, which might also be of some interest, but they would have to be shown in a different way, and I'm not sure that they are officially released either.
I respectfully suggest that the sandy coloured apparent 1% transfer votes are superfluous and misleading, and should be removed.
