You should check carefully whether you are eligible to register.
Only the following individuals or organisations can register with the Electoral Commission:
an individual registered on a UK electoral register or resident in the UK
a UK registered company which is incorporated in the UK and carries on business in the UK
a UK registered trade union
a UK registered building society
a UK registered limited liability partnership which carries on business in the UK
a UK registered friendly, industrial or provident society
a UK based unincorporated association that carries on the majority of its business or other activities in the UK
a body incorporated by Royal Charter
a UK charitable incorporated organisation
a Scottish partnership which carries on business in the UK1
If you do not fall into one of these categories, you cannot spend more than £700 in Wales on regulated campaign activities during the regulated period.2
If you do spend more than £700 when you are not eligible, you will be guilty of an offence.3
You should ensure you register as the type of entity that is carrying out the campaigning. For example, if you are an individual registered on a UK electoral register and you have a registered company, you should register as the entity that is doing the campaigning.
Who cannot register?
You cannot register as an individual non-party campaigner if you are already the responsible person for a registered non-party campaigner.4
Registered political parties are not eligible to register as a non-party campaigner and cannot spend more than £700 on regulated non-party campaigning activities. If you are a registered non-party campaigner, you will not be able to register as a political party until you are no longer registered as a non-party campaigner.5
