Paragraph 55 Candidates’ election expenses

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

A candidate at a Health Board election must not incur expenses on account of or in respect of the conduct or management of the election in excess of £250 (regardless of whether the expenses are incurred before, during or after the election).

(2)

If a candidate’s election expenses exceed £250, any candidate or counting agent who—

(a)

incurred (or authorised the incurring of) those expenses; or

(b)

knew or ought reasonably to have known that election expenses would exceed £250,

is guilty of an illegal practice for the purposes of Part 3 of the 1983 Act.
