ELECTORAL COMMISSION- CARDIFF

We work to: register political parties; make sure people understand and follow the rules on party and election finance; publish details of where parties and candidates get money from and how they spend it; set the standards for running elections and report on how well this is done; make sure people understand it is important to register to vote, and know how to vote. As the regulator of UK party and election finance, we make sure people understand and follow the rules on party and election finance. We regulate the financing of political parties, organisations and individuals engaged in campaigning.

We strive to help the regulated community comply with the rules by providing advice and guidance, and we enforce the law when these rules are not followed. We provide information on laws governing the registration and financing of political organisations and individuals.

We provide guidance on how to comply with the law to those we regulate. This includes advice on how to register a political organisation and to report statutory returns.
