Paragraph 3 Candidates etc at elections to Senedd CymruI1I2
United Kingdom
This paragraph applies if—
apart from this paragraph—
a constituency or individual candidate at an election to Senedd Cymru or an election agent of such a candidate, or
a party list candidate at an election to Senedd Cymru or the election agent of a registered party in relation to that party's list at such an election,
would be guilty of an offence under section 48(1), and
the offence under section 48(1) would relate to the publication of electronic material which can reasonably be regarded as intended to achieve a purpose within—
section 43(4) as it applies to candidates at the election, or
section 45(5) as it applies to candidates at the election.
The candidate or election agent is instead guilty of an illegal practice.
F1The Senedd Cymru (Representation of the People) Order 2025 (S.I. 2025/864) (W. 150) applies in relation to the candidate or election agent and the illegal practice as it applies in relation to a candidate or election agent and an illegal practice by virtue of F2article 78(13) of that Order (printer’s name and address on election publications).
In this paragraph “constituency candidate”, “individual candidate” and “party list candidate” have the same meanings as in that Order (see article 2).
