Non-party campaigners: Greater London Authority elections

Reporting

If authorisation is given, the agent will need to include your spending in the candidate spending return. You will need to give the agent the necessary details for that spending to be included.

If you spend more than the limit you must also complete a spending return and declaration and deliver these to the Greater London Returning Officer (GLRO) within 21 days of the result being declared.

The GLRO can be contacted through London Elects.

In both documents you must include:

  • the constituency name
  • the date of publication of notice of the election (you can find this out from your local Returning Officer)
  • the name of the election agent who authorised the spending
  • the name of the candidate whose agent authorised the spending
  • your name as the organisation or individual who incurred the spending

In the return you must include your total amount of spending, and you must attach the agent's written authorisation for your spending.

In the declaration you must declare that the return is complete and correct, and include details about what the spending was on, under “the matters for which the spending referred to were incurred”.
