City of London Corporation elections

The City of London Corporation elections determine the governance of the City of London, a unique financial district. Unlike typical local elections, these are primarily for "aldermen" and "Common Council" members, representing businesses and residents. The Corporation manages services like policing and public spaces, and its elections follow a distinctive tradition, often involving local voters known as "liverymen" from various trade guilds. The Mayor of London (separate from the Corporation) oversees the Greater London area, while the Corporation focuses specifically on the City’s needs and interests, emphasizing its historical and economic significance.
