Election campaign spending

There are rules that control spending by political parties during regulated periods. 

There are regulated periods for political parties before the following elections:

• UK Parliamentary general elections
• Scottish Parliamentary elections
• Senedd elections
• Northern Ireland Assembly elections

We have removed our party guidance from previous elections to avoid any confusion with the changes to the law made under the Elections Act 2022.

Please contact us by email if you would like to access the guidance published for past elections, as we can provide this on request.

We will be producing guidance ahead of the next scheduled elections.
