Short profile:
The Commission is headed by 10 Commissioners. We are supported by a Chief Executive, an Executive team and an employee workforce of around 140. Our 10 Commissioners lead our strategy and set our priorities. They are independent of political parties - though our four recently appointed Commissioners bring direct experience in political parties - and are accountable directly to Parliament.
Detailed description:
We are divided into five main directorates: Party and Election Finance; Electoral Administration (including our English regional offices and our offices in Northern Ireland and Wales); Communications (including our office in Scotland); Finance and Corporate Services; Deputy Chief Executive's Directorate. Our head office is in London and we have offices in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We also have offices in York, Exeter and Coventry, with responsibilities for the North of England, South West England and the Midlands respectively. In addition we set up a South of England office within our London offices.
