Guidance for Candidates and Agents at Senedd elections

After the election, the election agent must meet deadlines for:

• receiving and paying invoices
• sending the candidate return to the Returning Officer

Both the agent and the candidate must submit declarations that the return is complete and accurate.1 If the candidate is acting as their own agent, they only need to submit a candidate declaration.

You must still submit the return and declarations even if you haven’t spent any money.2 This is called a ‘nil return’.

You can find these deadlines, and more information on reporting, in After the election.
