Although Conservative candidate Boris Johnson won the Mayoral election, the Assembly election produced the Labour Party's best result since the inception of the London Assembly; this was subsequently surpassed by the party's performance in the 2016 election. Overview The Assembly is elected by the Additional Member System. There are fourteen directly elected constituencies, all of which have, to date, only ever been won by the Conservative Party or the Labour Party. An additional eleven "London members" are allocated by a London wide top-up vote with the proviso that parties must win at least five percent of the vote to qualify for the list seats.Greater London Authority Act https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1999/29/schedule/2 All registered electors (British, Irish, Commonwealth and European Union citizens) living in London who were aged 18 or over on Thursday 3 May 2012 were entitled to vote in the Assembly election. Those who were temporarily away from London (for example, away working, on holiday, in student accommodation or in hospital) were also entitled to vote in the Assembly election.http://www.harrow.gov.uk/info/200157/electoral_registration/2373/electoral_registration/2 Who can register to vote?
