Non-party campaigners: UK Parliamentary general elections

Certain non-party campaigners must report donations both in the run-up to a UK Parliamentary general election, which we call ‘pre-poll reporting’, and after the election in the spending and donations return.

Registered non-party campaigners (unless they have declared that they will spend below the reporting thresholds) are required to report donations at three different times:

• during the pre-dissolution period (quarterly pre-poll reporting)
• between the dissolution of Parliament and polling day (weekly pre-poll reporting)
• after the election, if they are required to submit a spending return

There are different reporting requirements in each type of report.

The following pages provide details on the different types of donation report and the respective requirements.
