The following section provides guidance on candidate spending at Greater London Authority elections.
This guidance covers:
how much you can spend in the lead up to the election
which activities count as candidate spending
what records you must keep
how to account for different types of spending
Most of the rules are the same for all candidates, whether they are standing to be Mayor of London, a constituency member or a London-wide member. Where the rules differ, we make this clear throughout the guidance. For example, the different types of candidates have different spending limits and different reporting obligations.
