The Representation of the People (Variation of Election Expenses, Expenditure Limits and Donation etc. Thresholds) Order 2023
This Order increases candidate election expense limits and registered party expenditure limits for UK parliamentary elections, Northern Ireland Assembly elections and local government elections in England to take into account inflation since the limits were set. The limits have been increased by 80.06%, 80.06% and 31.03% respectively. The Order also increases several political donation reporting thresholds by 49.09%. Percentages here have been rounded to 2 decimal places. The calculated figures have been rounded down to the nearest £10. The extent of the increases also reflect the passage of time since the figures were set.
