Return of Electoral Expenses and Donations
The Local Electoral Act 2001 (LEA), Section 112A, states all candidates in elections held under the LEA must file a Return of Electoral Donations and Expenses.
They must be available for inspection by the public for a period of seven years after the date of the election to which it relates. We have the returns for the last three elections within the seven year period available to view.
