We are an independent body set up by the UK Parliament. We regulate party and election finance and set standards for well-run elections.

We work to support a healthy democracy, where elections and referendums are based on our principles of trust, participation, and no undue influence.

Our people and offices

We are divided into four main directorates:

• Party and Election Finance
• Electoral Administration (including our English regional offices and our offices in Northern Ireland and Wales) 
• Communications (including our office in Scotland) 
• Finance and Corporate Services
