Paragraph 10 Deposits
A person shall not be validly nominated unless the sum of £5000 is deposited by that person or on that person's behalf, with the F1CA/CCA returning officer at the place and within the time for delivery of nomination papers.
The deposit may be made either—
by the deposit of any legal tender, or
by means of a banker's draft, or
with the F2CA/CCA returning officer's consent, in any other manner (including by means of a debit or credit card or the electronic transfer of funds),
but the F3CA/CCA returning officer may refuse to accept a deposit sought to be made by means of a banker's draft if the CA/CCA returning officer does not know that the drawer carries on business as a banker in the United Kingdom.
Where the deposit is made on behalf of the candidate, the person making the deposit must at the time it is made give his or her name and address to the F4CA/CCA returning officer (unless they have previously been given to the CA/CCA returning officer under section 67 (appointment of election agent) of the 1983 Act).
