Article 41 Candidate’s personal expenses, and petty expenses
A candidate at an Assembly election may pay any personal expenses incurred by him on account of or in connection with or incidental to the election, but the amount which a candidate may pay (subject to paragraph (2)) shall not exceed—
£600, in the case of a candidate at a constituency election, or
£900, in the case of a candidate at a regional election,
and any further personal expenses incurred by him shall be paid by the election agent.
Where at an ordinary election a person is a candidate at a constituency election and an individual or a party list candidate at a regional election—
the amount of any such personal expenses paid by him in respect of both elections shall not exceed £900, but
the amount of any such personal expenses paid by him in respect of the constituency election shall not exceed £600.
A candidate shall send to the election agent within the time permitted by this Order for sending in claims a written statement of the amount of personal expenses paid as mentioned in paragraph (1) by the candidate.
Any person may, if so authorised in writing by an election agent, at an Assembly election pay any necessary expenses of stationery, postage, telephonic communication (or any other similar means of communication) and other petty expenses, to a total amount not exceeding that named in the authority, but any excess above the total amount so named shall be paid by the election agent.
A statement of the particulars of payments made by any person so authorised shall be sent to the election agent within the time limited by this Order for sending in claims, and shall be vouched for by a bill containing that person’s receipt.
