# The European Parliamentary Elections (Amendment) Regulations 1989, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which apply in Great Britain, amend the European Parliamentary Elections Regulations 1986. They increase the maximum amount of a candidate’s election expenses at a European Parliamentary election. The maximum amount of a candidate’s election expenses is made up of a fixed sum (expressed in pounds) plus a sum expressed in pence (and fractions of pence) for each entry in the register of electors.
These Regulations also increase from £750 to £1,000 the sum which must be deposited with the returning officer by or on behalf of a candidate at a European Parliamentary election. A person cannot be validly nominated as a candidate at such an election unless this deposit has been made.
