Imprints guidance
Under the law, some campaign material must contain details to show who is responsible for the material. This provides transparency for voters.
If you produce material that relates to an electoral event, or to a party, candidate or elected office-holder, you may need to include an imprint.
Imprints can be required on digital material and printed material.
There are different imprint requirements for non-party campaigners at Scottish Parliamentary elections and council elections in Scotland.
