Guidance for the GLRO administering the GLA elections

Providing information on election spending

Candidates are required by law to follow certain rules regarding:

  • how much they can spend 
  • who they can accept donations from 
  • what they must report after the election1

You should ensure that parties, candidates and election agents have access to information on the spending limit, spending returns and declarations in order to enable them to meet reporting requirements. 

We have produced guidance for candidates and agents on spending and donations, which you can use to provide provide candidates and agents with information on spending limits and donation controls, as well as returns and declarations in order to enable them to meet their reporting requirements.

Our briefing for candidates and agents provides you with an opportunity to provide further guidance on election spending.
