Publicising the time and place for inspection of candidates' spending returns and declaration

Within 10 days of the deadline for candidates to submit their spending returns to you, you must publish in at least two newspapers circulating in the police area a notice of the time and place at which the returns, declarations and accompanying documents can be inspected. You must also send a copy of this notice to each of the election agents.1

If you have not received one of the required returns or declarations you must state this in the notice. If you subsequently receive a return or declaration, you must, within ten days after its receipt, publish a notice (in the same way as the first notice) of the time and place at which that return, declaration and accompanying documents can be inspected, and send a copy of this notice to all the agents.
