The Representation of the People (Variation of Election Expenses and Exclusions) Regulations 2024
These Regulations increase the maximum amount of election expenses which may be incurred by candidates at Greater London Authority and local authority mayoral elections in England to take account of inflation. This is an 81.05% increase (rounded to 2 decimal places) in the figures for Greater London Authority elections and 29.09% (rounded to 2 decimal places) in the figures for local authority mayoral elections. The calculated figures have been rounded down to the nearest £10. The extent of the increases also reflects the passage of time since the figures were set. The new maximum amount for local authority mayoral elections aligns with the new maximum amount for combined authority mayoral elections and combined county authority mayoral elections set out in the Combined Authorities (Mayoral Elections) Order 2017 (Amendment) Regulations 2024.
