Providing information on Candidates' 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 election
You should ensure that candidates and election agents have access to information on the spending limit,1
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 at a police and crime commissioner election which can be found in of our guidance for candidates and agents, which you can use to 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 template presentation for candidates and agents also contains guidance on spending and donations. You can use these resources to provide candidates and agents with information on spending returns and declarations in order to enable them to meet their reporting requirements.
