All accredited campaigners must submit a spending return to you,1
together with relevant invoices and receipts, within 30 calendar days of the end of the recall petition period.2
The return must be accompanied by a declaration by the responsible person.3
In order to maintain a clear audit trail, you should ensure that any documentation relating to petition spending returns, including the declaration, are date-stamped on receipt.
Spending returns must be kept for two years and be made available for public inspection.
You must send copies of petition spending returns, declarations and accompanying documents to the Electoral Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after their receipt.4
