Guidance for Candidates and Agents at Senedd elections

After the election, you must submit a declaration of personal expenses to the Returning Officer. This must be delivered within 35 days of the election result being declared.1 You should not include any personal expenses that have been paid or reimbursed by the party in the declaration.2

If you are outside the United Kingdom when the declaration is due, the deadline for submitting the declaration is extended to no later than 14 days after you return.3

You must still submit a declaration even if you haven’t incurred any personal expenses.

It is a criminal offence to knowingly make a false declaration.4
