Non-party campaigners: Senedd elections

| Print full guidance

When must you register with the Electoral Commission?

If you are eligible to register, you can register at any time before or during the regulated period at a Senedd election. 

You must be registered before you spend more than £10,000 on regulated campaign activity during the regulated period. We call this limit the ‘registration threshold’. Spending more than this amount without being on the register of non-party campaigners is an offence.1

The Commission maintains the register of non-party campaigners in the lead up to elections. Once a non-party campaigner is registered, we will publish their details on our public register.2  We will not publish any personal information, such as home addresses, email addresses or phone numbers.
