Non-party campaigners: Senedd elections
How do you register?
You can register online using PEF Online. Alternatively, you can complete Form TP1 and send a signed copy of the form to us by email or post.
When we receive your application, we will check that you are eligible to register, that all the necessary information is provided and confirm in writing when you are registered. In some cases, we may ask you to provide further information before we can process your registration.
You should allow for time for your application to be processed and wait until we confirm that you are registered before spending over £10,000. This will ensure you do not exceed the registration threshold before you are registered, which is an offence.1
What information do you need to provide?
If you are registering as an individual, you must provide your name and home address.2
If you are registering as a body incorporated by Royal Charter, a UK charitable incorporated organisation or a Scottish partnership which carries on business in the UK, you must provide:
- the name of the organisation and the address of its main office3
- the name of the ‘responsible person’4
- the organisation’s ‘relevant details’5
- the authorisation of the organisation’s secretary (or an individual acting in a similar capacity)6
For other organisations eligible to register, you must provide:
- the name of the organisation and the address of its registered or main office7
- the name of the ‘responsible person’8
- details of the organisation’s ‘relevant participators’9
- the authorisation of the organisation’s secretary (or an individual acting in a similar capacity)10
A person acting in a similar capacity to an organisation’s secretary will have overall responsibility for the organisation’s administrative affairs.
Please see the next pages for information about the responsible person, their responsibilities, and the relevant details and participators.
These details, except for an individual’s home address, will be included on your entry on the register of non-party campaigners.
We will not publish any personal information, such as home addresses, email addresses or phone numbers provided in your registration.
As part of your registration, you will also be asked to provide information or evidence that you meet the requirements to be added to the register of non-party campaigners under your chosen category. For example, if you are registering as a company, you will be asked to provide your company registration number and evidence that you are carrying on business in the UK.
